Confederacy is an interesting choice. Probably more accurate than saying Nazi Germany, since it’s closer to already existing US characteristics/history. Though I have some misgivings about it because I could see liberals going “yeah, this is just the country being like the confederates, unlike us who would have been on the side of the union army,” while not understanding that the union army was still a settler colony army and far from a bastion of anti-racism and liberation; had it actually been such, it would have liquidated the racist elements of the US instead of allowing them to change form into a violent reaction to integration. I mean, it didn’t even truly wipe out slavery. It moved it to prisons.
I used to think Lincoln was such a cool guy. 😬 If he was alive today, I guess he’d be somewhere in the milquetoast reformist realm of Bernie Sanders. The broader world probably would have been better off if the US of the time had fragmented and stayed that way instead of holding together.
The union army sent captured confederates west to build railroads, kill buffalos and shoot natives during the civil war, as an example of how they were on the same side as settlers
Lincoln only ever really gave a shit about preserving muh union. On the election trail for his first run he thought that could be done by “limiting” slavery and making it “die a natural death” (while deporting enslaved people to a special state in Africa).
After he was elected and the south panicked and started the war, he decided that freeing enslaved people and making some structural changes was necessary for the long-term survival of the American political project.
Liberalism stems from petty-bourgeois selfishness, it places personal interests first and the interests of the revolution second, and this gives rise to ideological, political and organizational liberalism
I really don’t believe we’re ever going to see change happen in American society, until Americans learn to stop measuring themselves against others and start taking interest in shaping their own destiny.
If you care and are doing something then wonderful, but to people who are busy doing stick measuring contests and not contributing to the cause… I want them to Read Mao on Combat Liberalism
This is one of the tasks on our ideological front.
Do they even know that the war crimes of Nazi German originated from the ongoing Federal Reserve concentration camps, death camps with the label of “Indian Residential Schools”, white supremacist ideology, and eugenic programs of the European settlers in the US?
