I am, but I’m very aware of the many, many flaws my nation has. For example, I’m very into elections and government and voting, and I think the US is a bit of a bad example when it comes to democratic states and republics.

My point was just that I don’t see America as an innately bad place, and I recognize the heinous things that has happened and is currently happening. Just to be clear.

A nation who’s founding and wealth built on genocide and imperialism cans murder cannot be considered a legitimate state or political entity. People who grow up in America are largely insulated to the actual damage the nation does in all honesty.

The United States props up dictators, kills socialists, and has actively been involved in cafeína children who’ve been displaced due to their actions in Latin America. That coupled with the fact that we essentially still enslave black and POC persons through the prison system, and I’d say you’ve got a very not good country on your hands. If I wasn’t Filipino and had relatives who experienced US fascism and empire firsthand, or if I wasn’t gay and experienced what it’s like to be profited off of and exploited and repressed, I’d probably be a democrat haha

I personally view the scenario as the US in itself is bad, and always was. It just has a lot of good people who are genuinely misguided to perpetuate the system more unknowingly, or are forced against their will in the capitalist hellscape it has become. Like anyone, the people of America can be reformed, and the sins of the ancestors can be atoned for. But that requires work, and it definitely requires the removal of Capitalism.

Ooh, you mean the banana republics and the anti-communist dictatorships? Yeah, those are uhh... yikes.

What’s the cafeína thing about?

To be honest, my dislike of the USA is based entirely in its acts of genocide overseas (and upon its own seas, for that matter). I think a nation's internal issues are for its own citizens to deal with and condemn. But I can very much condemn its - and I cannot stress this enough - genocidal extra-territorial actions.

A white colonizer state that also engaged in native genocide. Nowadays it imposes draconian laws on its people and still sends prisoners to remote islands.

Post self-deleted by A virtual triad.

I see there has been quite a lot of talking about the US. May I add some elements as someone who's never ever set foot in the US or in America for that matter? I reckon it is misinformation -aka. propaganda- to think that the US were founded on democracy and freedom. At least that is how I feel about it from an outside perspective.

Madison, who I believe is one of the founding fathers -excuse my lack of knowledge about American history- and his analysis of the American political system is literally what we study here in political science as "the argument AGAINST democracy". Madison lived at a time when the ideas of "democracy" and "republic" were opposed, with the first referering to actual power being put into the hands of the people directly, and the latter refering to actual power being put into the hands of the people's representatives instead. We study this as a continuation of Plato's debate on the perfect government, is it one of the people guided by philosophers or one of philosophers influenced by the people. Madison was a strong opponent to democracy for several reasons that can really just be summed up as "the US is too big to be a democracy" and "peasants are too dumb to rule themselves". So republicanism, in direct opposition to democracy, is what the US were actually founded on. Most other countries have the exact same system without having it as their founding principle so that isn't very important. About this I recomand reading what Madison wrote on democracy, unless you're working class or literally anything else than white with British ancestry and are already tired of rich white men calling you dumb.

As for freedom, this one's a tad trickier. I'm sure it's already been mentioned how freedom in the American sense was limited to rich white men from the start and necessited the genocide of hundreds of peoples in the making, but it goes even deeper than that to me (if anything can really go deeper than actual genocide). Freedom in the American sense is that to take what is not yours. It's everywhere in the constitution, in the logic behind gun laws, in the logic behind state making, in the logic behind the economic system. The goal is to allow people to take without having to give back. Hell, the founding moment of the country was a refusal by white men who got rich on genocide to pay their taxes to other white men who got rich on feudalism. American "freedom" is really just rebranded extreme individualism to me, an ideology based on the idea that some people are just more deserving than others. In my culture, people who are unable to recognise the community in this fashion are considered mentally ill, I'll just put that here for good mesure.

Now I'm not trying to demonise the United State and just so we're on the same page, I'm not calling Americans mentally ill. I'm just saying that the principles America were founded on I personally think are "revulsing things that were rebranded" and definitely not some "good thing that went bad" I can garantee you that everything in America went exactly as according to the original plans.

And honestly, I wouldn't even care normally, I reckon now that things are how they are, America could well live their lives how they intended in the begining, and I don't think I would be in my place, as a foreigner, to give my opinion on it, especially considering I can say almost the exact same things for let's say France for example. What I do care about as a foreigner however, is how intimately convinced the American government is that their principles are universal and should be forcefully imposed onto the entire world.

Consider that the Soviet Runion was barely industrialised as it was forming.
With the low I dusteiloazation and the earliest monarchy came a whole loads of issues which rallied the masses for the comunist cause.
And in restospevtive the masses were the essential part of the revolution, the comunist party lead the uprising bit ultimately is was an expression of the proletariat.
Maoist theory tells us how the comunist party has to follow the proletariat thoughts in his policies.
So in the end for a revolution you need the masses and those are present in both industrialised and non industrialised nations.
I think that revolution in an already developed capitalist country like Italy or such can be harder die to the pervasiveness of capitalism in everyday life.
But then again, a comunist party needs to represent the will of the people. I would argue that the comunist party should lead the masses more than rappresentino the masses in an late capitalist state bit not considering the proletariat wills is a revipeee for doom.

I prefer to count myself as a Marxist-Lenninst without further sub dividing into Maoist or Hoxhaist. But I am strongly anti revisionist though, so you could consider me as one in some way.

Saniston wrote:Any Maoists here?

Don’t refer to myself that way and prefer to just say Marxist-Leninist, but I do support mao and his theories and I like to borrow from him. I’m Filipino so Mao’s work has had a huge impact on my home and our people’s experiences, thus I really see it as one of the best chances for the Philippines to attain socialism and communism.
