U.S. imperialism’s supremacist ideology can be defeated by liberation struggle solidarity
rainershea.substack.com
The pitch that the U.S. empire makes is one of a shared conquest. Or, to put it more bluntly, a shared project to steal from other civilizations. The American imperialists have stolen an entire continent from the Natives, stolen over ten trillion dollars worth of wealth created through the labor of African slaves, and distributed the benefits gained from this theft among the white settlers so that a mass social base can be created for their parasitic project. Then they’ve expanded their parasitism worldwide, turning the U.S. empire into the world’s foremost purveyor of war and neo-colonial exploitation. This has allowed for the capitalist ruling class which runs the empire to make the wealth of the settlers more secure, and to distribute some of imperialism’s spoils to the bourgeois minority among nonwhites. The empire seeks to assimilate its internal colonies—the African nation, the Indigenous First Nations, the Brown nation—into its prevailing ideology, while maintaining the loyalty of the settlers by continuing to give them relatively substantial benefits.
