Youssef Bouchi writes on the importance of American socialism from his perspective as an Arab immigrant in Canada:
“Grassroots movements in the U.S. already understand this […] Our task from the outside is to support them.”

The death of the United States is far more realistic than socialism in America.
Socialism is internationalist. The world needs you to get some education.

american exceptionalism: socialist edition
seriously though, how would an us-american socialist revolution (let’s pretend that’s possible) be better for the world than the usa crumbling completely?
.
The point isn’t some idea of American Exceptionalism, but that a successful Socialist revolution in the world’s largest Empire will dramatically liberate the Global South.
a revolution in the world’s largest empire is extremely unlikely by virtue of it being the world’s largest empire
Imperialism is an unsustainable practice, and the Empire must still be overthrown, whether internally or externally. I don’t think revolution is impossible, but either revolution or outside factors are still required to progress beyond the present stage in Imperialism.
sure. it’s not gonna come from within, though. it’s no coincidence that no successful socialist revolution ever happened in the imperial core
the world needs the death of the usa
That’s good because a socialist America requires the death of the USA first.
The Socialist Union of Turtle Island Republics.
Edit to add: I’m fine with the US being balkanized, into as many rump states as necessary to knock the exceptionism out of it.
To be replaced by what?
That depends on the nature of the struggle and which overseas countries dominate.
Socialism is not confined to borders. Our movement belongs to workers all over the world.
We have to acknowledge that, for now, those borders do exist in order to end them.
We will not make the error of previous movements of putting white liberation first in line.
This seems like a non sequitur on its face, but I’m sure you speaking to something(s) specific that went over my head.
American exceptionalism is based in white supremacy. The world needs socialism. Not “American socialism.”
Ah, I see. Yeah that’s a shit title. The world does not need a white savoir to bestow socialism upon the world.
