This nation has a great deal of greatness in its history and culture of resistance, progress, and innovation that isn’t talked a lot about. Instead, the dominant narrative and pop culture based on oppression, slavery, and insanity is promoted in its place. Yes, saying that this country is all bad and is uniquely evil among nations is false, but accepting the dominant narrative that you should handwave the bad I’d also incorrect.
The positives include the protest music of modern folk singers, the struggle of labor unions of the late 1800s/early 1900s, and the mass of history shakers now standing up to police brutality.
Please read Settlers by J. Sakai.
I actually did read Settlers by J. Sakai. Outside of wrongly attributing all white workers as non-proletarian or even oppressed, instead of recognizing the intricate caste system we have in the United States, I don’t know where your going here?
My point is that, in a political context, anything less than unequivocal denunciation of the United States is a waste of time at best and actively serving the bourgeoisie at worst. That doesn't mean that I don't wish for the best for American workers.
However, I also recognize that America is where capitalism is the strongest, and therefore the place where it will be hardest to overthrow. The easiest strategy for doing so at present is for anti-imperialist and socialist movements in the Global South to reduce the accumulation of capital in the imperial core, thereby weakening those national bourgeoisies and making it easier for the American workers to overthrow them.
Unfortunately, it is precisely because American workers have it better than most workers elsewhere that makes revolutionary socialism a harder sell for them.
