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.

    The republic is something that's important to any socialist project. America had one at some point, but it's kinda died in favor of a diffuse federation of states with a supreme capitalist bureaucracy in charge of all the currency and labor armies/real armies.

    You need some form of love of your fellow worker through a shared myth of the republic, but the issue with America is that any alternative myth has been totally excised from mass consciousness. There is no working class hero, there is no just war, there is nothing but slavery and consumption backing our shared mass consciousness.
