“Grassroots movements in the U.S. already understand this […] Our task from the outside is to support them.”

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
