I didn't even watch the video, but there's a lot of pure ideology going on in this thread. Too many fart huffing liberals for me to dunk on myself.

I'd say American socialists should push American patriotism along the collective lines of the history of American workers. From telling tales of the Blair mountain battles to talking about the sheer grit of the railroad workers as they connected the people across the land together. It should be taking notes from Woody Guthrie's best known song "This land is your land", and encouraging honest working folks communalism while condemning the bourgeoise hollywood culture's personality cults that infects our society.
Of course that doesn't mean every fella needs to be twanging on a banjo and whistling through :british-maw: teeth. We can look at contemporary musicians like Bambu, Rocky Rivera, and Ruby Ibarra, Boots and The Coup, the snotty nose rez kids, and the many other socialist musicians.
We must wage war on the bourgeoise culture we exist in, not in the sense a "culture war" as the libs and reactionaries view it, but as one of the aspects of total class war - a war of workers culture versus bourgeoises culture.
America, but the finding fathers are Pete Seeger, Eugene Debs, and Malcolm X
