>>629540 >Americans like to believe their system is the best and they won't accept any rivals or allow anyone to tell them what to do. They believe American values are universal and that everyone else in the world is secretly American inside, and their Americanness is just trying to get out, and Americans' job is to help them do it. And that's exactly the reason why communism must be built in America first. Not merely because the USA is the most developed capitalist nation, but because the people are ideologically primed to be in favor of world revolution. The task of 'flipping' American civic belief towards socialism may be near-insurmountable, but if it could be done the task of spreading the revolution would be that much easier than if it happened in, say, Germany or Brazil.

>>648255 Exactly. The U.S was birthed in revolutionary liberal Enlightenment, as Marx and Lenin themselves pointed out, unlike European and Old World nations which are trapped in ethnic nationalism and historicism, the U.S is instead trapped in civicism; its identity as a nation is bound up in its civic belief. It's why I get so pissed off reading about our based early IWW, Socialist Party etc history, because we could've been so much more.
Had the U.S embraced socialism, it would've unironically been a Red Napoleon, in the same way its been a Blue Napoleon in the 20th and 21st century, protected by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and dedicated to exporting Revolution at all costs (the spread of its civic belief). This combined with its greater material output would mean it would've had much more success in actually exporting revolution. But the bourgeoise in the U.S won the domestic class war and crushed the proletariat. God I hate the porkies and dream of world revolution.

>>650989 Depends on what you mean by history. Because Euro-Americans (among others) lost so much of their traditional cultures when they migrated they had to build up an entirely new culture from scratch. This is arguably one major reason why every time an ideology or religion gets distorted it always occurs in the United States (it's not like hundreds upon hundreds of different Protestant denominations originated in Europe, for instance).
I'm an America who has lived abroad before (study abroad in Prague, spent an entire summer in Greece, lived in Mexico with a friend for almost two years) and can confirm that people elsewhere don't really "get" Americans even if they "get" people from other New World countries. At least in places like Argentina the population is much, much more connected to its Spanish/Italian European roots than most Euro-Americans are.

Moreover America's actual relations with its minorities no longer really resemble settler colonialism. The condition of racialized people in America more closely resemble those of Europe than they do Israel.

>>653392 On what basis? Generally speaking the encroachments on indigenous lands are for shit like pipelines or resource extraction than settlement, and black and hispanic people are just proles who also experience racial discrimination. Imo settler colonialism is only useful to describe a situation wherein displacement and settlement is experienced by a ethnically distinct segment of the population to the benefit of another part. That doesn't really happen anymore. The condition of racialized people in America more closely resembles that of minorities in Europe than it does the Palestinians.
