🔥 Core Message

The U.S. does not stand for democracy, freedom, or human rights, but instead serves the interests of its ruling capitalist class, both domestically and internationally, through war, exploitation, propaganda, and systemic inequality.

📢 Major Themes & Arguments

🇺🇸 U.S. Government ≠ American People

• Criticism targets the U.S. government and elite, not ordinary Americans.
• The public has no real input on major decisions (e.g., bailouts, military budget, tax policy).

🌍 Foreign Policy Hypocrisy

• The U.S. invades and occupies nations not to spread freedom but to:
  • Control resources (oil, lithium, poppy, etc.).
  • Secure strategic military outposts.
  • Open markets for U.S. corporations.
• Examples include:
  • Iraq & Afghanistan (oil privatization, drug trade explosion).
  • CIA-backed coups (Bolivia, Iran, Chile).
  • Support for dictators across Latin America, Africa, Asia.
• Defense contractors and corporations (e.g., Halliburton, Blackwater, Lockheed Martin) profit massively.

🗳️ Election Interference & Coups

• U.S. has interfered in dozens of elections, including:
  • Russia (1996), Italy, Greece, Indonesia, Iran, and many others.
• When influence fails, it resorts to coups (e.g., Guatemala’s Arbenz, Chile’s Allende).
• Kissinger quote highlights U.S. elitist contempt for real democracy.

🏠 Domestic Failures of Democracy

• No workplace democracy: workers have no control in their jobs.
