While the rest of the western world is benefiting from Imperialism, we'd still be better off under redistribution.
It's because US has a lot of "internal colonies". i.e. working class people, people of color, indigenous people, prisoners (who are used as literal slaves), LGBTQIA+ people, etc. There are so many marginalized groups in America that even being the wealthiest country in the world can't make up for it. Also America is basically Europe's bodyguard at this point. Joseph Borrell, a high ranking EU official once said that America provides Europe with security while China provides Europe with cheap products and Russia provides Europe with cheap energy, and that this is basically what makes Europe a "garden" and the rest of the world a "jungle." He then warned that "the jungle could invade the garden." To that I say, Jungle Gang.
TL;DR most of American people would be better off under redistribution, but the living here certainly would not
Lmao. This is such an L for the US. While the rest of the western world is benefiting from Imperialism, we'd still be better off under redistribution.
