    I mean, they're not wrong other than the fact that you kind of have to have a revolution before you can start exporting it. If the US wakes up tomorrow morning and decides to create a DotP, address its massive pile of crimes against humanity at home and abroad, and genuinely becomes a proper socialist nation and then decides that it wants to arm fellow socialists in Saudi Arabia or wherever then go for it.

      Do you not see that this person is using "antifascism" as a justification for imperialism?

        Of course. This person is some weird Trot-to-neocon-pipeline graduate trying to justify the existing US bombing brown people to do imperialism. I was just pointing out that the same argument made in good faith assuming a socialist government rises in a former imperial core power isn't wrong.

        Dictatorship of the proletariat. It doesnt mean dictatorship as its widely used today, just as a description of which class is on top. Marx described every capitalist and feudalist state as a dictatorship of the bourgois/capital so its used to indicate what class is in controll of the state and society . So a dictatorship of the proletariat more or less the period that follows a revolution with the working class taking hold of the state and power, recreating it with a new class character and supressing the burgeois and and reactionaries
