I don't want to hear about how your Wehrmacht soldiers are just following orders. Fuck the US Army and fuck the troops, too. Death to AmeriKKKa, death to "Israel", death to the west.

This is phrasemongering class reductionism. The principle contradiction in the world right now is imperialism, which the US Empire is at the head of.

I'm not disagreeing with the opinion that imperialism is one of the biggest large-scale problems facing humanity, and that the US is the current worst offender.

I'm just pointing out that at the root of imperialism are a few powerful people attempting to rule over the rest of us. Tech-feudalism in the digital world is another huge problem, as is the rise of fascism. And they all come from class warfare, at least in my humble opinion.

But I am also not pretending to be as informed on history and current events as many other here, and I am no attempting to lecture anyone as if I know better. That would just be decisive and counterproductive.

The roots of imperialism are in the monopoly stage of capitalism. It isn't because a few bad individuals exist, it's a material process.
