I’ve been trying to think of something good the US is doing in the world but I’ll damned if I can come up with anything.
showing us that guns are bad?
Nothing inherently bad about guns. An armed proletariat is important (e.g. Cuba). The main problem is the bizarre gun culture in Amerika
in modern times, guns are useless against a militarized police and a fascist militia that both out-gun and out-number the small pocket of reason.
Sure, if the police is willing to kill thousands upon thousands of citizens, and the members of the military decide to slaughter their own countrymen on politicians’ orders, it might not make much of a difference. If you’re interested in some reasons for arming workers, you can have a look at the Black Panther Party’s arguments.
“But Communist countries are worse so you should tolerate our mismanagement” said by the American imperialists who use the very brainwashing that they attributed to totalitarian countries.
