You're basically right, but I'm not convinced the anti-war movement has any legs in America either. Most people just don't care, and those that do don't have any power. Iraq being revealed to be a war based on lies was big news, but the interventions in Libya and Syria being based on the same shit? Barely a footnote.
Yeah, the bottom line is that Americans aren't interested enough in the rest of the world to build a socialist movement around anti-war sentiment (and that goes double for the more complex idea of anti-imperialism). I don't see any scenario where there's a broad anti-war movement that later turns into socialism. It didn't happen during opposition to Iraq, Vietnam, WWI, the Spanish-American War, etc., etc., etc.
On the other hand, I can see a socialist movement focused on domestic policies gaining steam and that later turning into not only an anti-war movement, but an anti-imperial one. There's a well-beaten path from Medicare for All to "yeah, I'm a socialist" to "holy shit we need to tear down this imperial death machine."
America has practically no worthwile leftist anything and the only cause that matters internationally is the anti-war movement.

How many war criminals were executed? :thinking-about-it:

You know things are bad when Trumptards became anti-war. Like, WTF.
I agree. Btw trumptard sounds like a gross word to use for them
