    I’ll just link another one and elaborate.
    While they didn’t have colonies as a nation they simply did it in a more hypocritical way and were actually heavily involved.
    Swedes, Danes and Norwegians alike.
    I get your point about the current neocolonialism but taking in to account the small numbers of their population compared to the big (but little known) role they played in the ‘old’ colonialism leads me to believe you underestimate their guilty past.
    It was also unknown to me for a long time so let this be a good opportunity for everyone to look into it, especially this commenter you’re replying to.
    These Nordics are not an example, as a matter of fact they could do a lot better considering their vast natural resources and don’t get me started on how their industrial expansion on Sami land, amongst other things, is only one aspect of their abundantly racist and anti-green attitude.

    The fact that one faction of your uniparty is worse does not make one bit of difference when they both move in the same direction and one side is merely driving the car off the cliff at a slower speed.
    Choosing that option instead inhibiting the very simple 3rd party solution is being complicit.
    They are not part of “those working toward that goal”, on the contrary.
    I imagine the percentage of the striving towards a real left solution is a low single digit number.
    Even then, I’ve seen multiple parties here, like real left, extreme right (unfortunately) or green grow from the same depressing numbers to big parties.
    But americans have been incapable of even trying, and this for more than 2 centuries.
    Now they’re finally at the (pre)fascist state and even then their ‘actions’ are embarrassing, futile and ineffective.
    Truly hopeless.
    It’s not my country so I am fine with seeing it collapse, as I said, there are but a few unfortunate collateral victims while it’s a huge benefit for the world.
    The second best solution.

    And your logic is faulty in many ways.
    I don’t vote for our lesser evil parties so I am in no way complicit.
    That is only the sell-out government and those supporting it.
    And yes I wish for them to be gone, especially the EU.
    Which will become a lot easier once the USSA and its cancerous influence stops.
    The difference is Europeans actually do class struggle, unlike americans.
    The many commenting here thinking they’re leftists and choosing the lesser evil are nothing to support.
    We are certainly not working for the same goal.

    Despite being substantially less bad than the US it certainly shouldn’t be seen as an example.
    As we are, like the rest of Europe a vassal state of your regime and are being dragged down with them and sacrificed solely for the benefit and imperialist aspirations of your regime.
    The answer to your problems is very simple in theory and has been suggested here and in plenty other places.
    Drop both sides of the uniparty.
    From the expected reactions here it’s clear that this is not going to happen.
    americans are simply to propagandized and conditioned.
    You can’t help people that don’t want to be helped.
    While many ML patiently and thoroughly explain what needs to be done they refuse these answers.
    I admire their persistence but I have lost the energy to keep on trying.
    IMO you are no longer victims of your system when you continue to support that system and are de facto collaborators and complicit in their actions.
    Then I would rather pragmatically see you destroy yourselves so you at least stop being the cancer of the world.
