He is a modern social democrat lol, not a full blown Marxist. How do you think he made it in American politics if he was completely against Nato, he supported the Serbia bombings etc and many ofher things (thats just one thing i remember rn)
Saying America has been defending democracy for 250 years is holocaust denial, yes; ignoring the part they played in genociding the native americans, the adventurism that killed 10+ million people between 1945-current day.
In no part of history has America ever defended democracy.
At it's conception through the 19th century, they were exterminating my people, and black people were seen as more useful subhumans, so they were kept alive. Women of course were just there to make babies.
Near the end of the 19th century, black men fought hard, and gained the right to vote for the oppressor of their choice. They were still killed if they dared to do so though.
White women gained the right to choose their oppressor in the early 20th century. In the words of Susan B Anthony:
“I will cut off this right arm of mine before I will ever work or demand the ballot for the Negro and not the woman.”
Today, things haven't changed much. We have the right to vote now, so long as the police haven't trumped up an excuse to arrest us. Murdering our women is still rampant. The last election saw the choice between Donald Trump (need I say more?), and a rich black oligarch who campaigned heavily on genocide. Americans like to forget the genocide was the basis for "their country". We want our land back. We want an end to your "democracy". It's nothing but genocide wrapped in lies.
The states has supported only their own democracy history wise, and has overthrown almost every government that posed as a risk for them, directly and indirectly. The only news here is that now is overthrowing their own democracy lol
I think the whole egocentric capitalist philosophy and the use of game theory under the assumption that everyone is just selfish is the root cause of this. The capitalist liberal democratic system is a victim of itself, it devours itself.
