      How many Americans reading this now were radicalized by personally witnessing the failure of reformism in the 2016 and 2020 democratic primaries?

      Yes, because they have no grounding in material reality at all. Sudan is only doing worse than Denmark because they have bad ideas. If you can only convince them to have the right ideas, they will become rich.

      Libs really do believe that. They think colonialism is dead. They have no clue what neocolonialism is. Imperialism is only when big countries invade smaller countries, or when China gives countries money for hospitals and roads.

      They think "poor" countries are 100% that way because their governments are bad and corrupt, aren't "democratic," and/or people are too ignorant to do things the "right way."

      They have no clue where the treats come from and they don't care. They dont view themselves citizens of an empire, or even human beings, as much as consumers. That is the only lens they view the world through. No solidarity with anyone. Their life is just them and their treats

      Do these people actually think Sudan could be transformed into Denmark overnight if only they did things more smarterer?

      Yes, they do. "The poors need education and they'll stop being poor" was a neoliberal staple in the 2000s.
