  • You cannot reform the United States of America because at it’s core it is a capitalist and imperialist country that will always put corporate interests over human interests.

    I mean, did you ever reform the USA to be anything but that?

    Yes, the USA is a capitalist and imperialist country at its core. Half the planet wants it dead, the other half look at it with disdain. Nothing short of going back to the drawing board will save a country built on genocide, land theft and staging coups and waging wars worldwide

    Research done by people whose purpose wasn’t to produce red-scare propaganda (I don’t know how I could have worded that better, I’m not a native speaker)

    Basically, I live in a country where the communist party used to be very powerful. Red scare has been a thing here, but leftism was strong in the country, and lots of historians here have published good quality researches about the USSR

    Fun fact though: our “”“communist”“” party is now between centrism and neoliberalism. Their alliance with the socialist party destroyed anything it had to do with communism

    Yes, the US has red scare propaganda.

    Historians exist outside of the US, though. We have decades and decades of non-US, non communist-scare historical research to know what the USSR and Stalin did. If you don’t want to recognise the errors of the past, you will repeat them. If the most you can do is aim for Stalin’s USSR but 2025 version, then you’re as much an enemy of the people than capitalists are.
