I tried to copy it but interestingly the character limit here is less than reddit's and it is a long post.
Basically most of it is arguing that a Trump win is better for anti-imperialists. A position I agree with. I think they present some compelling arguments.
The idea that imperialism is limited to open warfare would have Lenin spinning in his grave.
Under trump, is there like an executive order by which US capital conglomerates aren’t allowed to invest, source resources, or exploit labor internationally? They use the state to facilitate capital extraction from the “underdeveloped” nations in a variety of ways, not just through military occupations.
US capitalism can’t function without imperialism, and that’s true regardless of which ruling class representative runs the government.
Fuck I've been saying that since forever but some parts of the sub have trouble accepting it sometimes...
But anyways, it's not even like Trump is significantly less likely to start wars, coups etc. Like, did everyone just forget what almost happened with Iran? Or Venezuela?
War is politics by other means.
