I assume by "reputable" you mean written by white people. You are clearly entrenched in some kind of ideological framework that refuses to see Israel as an OBVIOUS extension of US foreign policy, because then their crimes would be ours, and we'd have to actually do something about it. Easier to not.

Fucking of course not. Fuck fascists. Those countries didn't murder millions, "The Black Book of Communism" is nonsense written by a Nazi. People died due to famine, civil war, and failed policies. And then they learned from those mistakes. They did not rely on Capitalist nations, they survived them

Cuba, the USSR and Mao's China all managed to accomplish massive feats of poverty eradication and industrial modernization. They were all flawed, of course, but none of them committed anything close to the horrors the US has in its past, and yet we still credit it with what positives it has achieved

I'm sure you would, after all we live in the Imperial core and are beneficiaries of the systems of oppression inherent to Capitalism. But a better world is possible, for us and for those who suffer for and because of us. Socialism has achieved FAR more than Capitalism, you're just ignorant of that.

What if… the US stopped supporting Israel tomorrow?

Half of US voters believe Israel is committing genocide and six in 10 oppose further military aid, polls suggest.

How big is Israel’s military and how much funding does it get from the US?

Israel has one of the world’s most powerful militaries, bolstered by more than $3.8bn of military aid a year from the US

If the US become a Dictatorship of the Proletariat today, I wouldn't have an ill word to say. People would be provided with housing, food, healthcare etc free of charge. Workers would be paid fairly for their labor, and profits used to improve society. You don't know what Socialism is or has done.

You're delusional. US funds something like 20% of total Israeli military spending, including completely bankrolling the Iron Dome system. Not to mention the MASSIVE spending US provides for the Israeli welfare system. Without that spending, Israel would be completely fucked in a few years.

You assume incorrectly. I am a Socialist, and as such I want to see the current Capitalist state overthrown and replaced with a more politically and economically democratic order. The only "protections" offered by the US constitution are to owners of Capital and those living in the Imperial core.

Yes, I know, that's the problem. Constitutional Republics are bad, that's what I'm saying. The people should have more direct, Democratic control over their lives, and not cede power to a political elite that to do their thinking for them. Both sides are bad, I'll grant you that.

Palingenetic Ultranationalism. A far-right movement that uses Populist rhetoric to create a narrative of national decay, brought about by so-called "degenerate" forces from inside and without that must be fought by a strongman leader who can return the nation to its former glory, often violently.

Our system is fundamentally undemocratic. The EC, unlimited campaign spending, voter restrictions, first-past-the-post elections, primaries, gerrymandering, all these and more make ANY outcome of a US election invalid and undemocratic. And BOTH sides of the aisle support this state of affairs.

I love how you Fascist types always just devolve into childishness. You have no moral backbone and so when confronted by those who actually have a soul, all you can do is poke fun, like a schoolyard bully. I hope you grow-up one day, and if not, I hope you pass quietly and impotently from this world

Doesn't matter. There is a genocide happening in Gaza and an ethnic cleansing happening in the West Bank. Both of which are happening on OUR dime, with OUR tax dollars and at the behest of OUR State Department. US Fascism is a sickness we have spread around the world, through Imperialist violence.

There has never been a democratic election in the US. Until we dismantle the electoral college, institute rank-choice voting, end private donations for elections, make election day a federal holiday, have mandatory voting, and dismantle the Supreme Court to start, we can't call ourselves a democracy

FUCK the US Constitution. Who gives a shit what a bunch of slave owning, child-rapists said 200 years ago. I care about people NOW, about systems that exist that harm people, and how they can be dismantled. Fuck nations, fuck borders, fuck any system that needlessly harms people to benefit others.

Do...do you think Israel could exist without the US? Are you insane? Without an imperial backer, there IS no Israel.

The fact that you don't see the connection between US Fascism at home and our support of Fascist movements abroad is WHY we need to keep bringing it up. This doesn't end with Trump out of office, everything he's doing IS America. Imperialism is the US's greatest sin, and it has bipartisan support.

When you clowns say "the government" you just mean Democracy. Like, yeah, the democratic process SHOULD be how we organize society and distribute resources. And the biggest criticisms of our current government should be that it isn't democratic enough.
