Under global capitalism, ofc there’s gonna be a brutal top dawg, that’s the name of the game, and yes, American capital has been unimagineably violent. But not without an inner circle that gets a dash of the spoils, too. That’s what that other guy was saying. Nations that have good trade deals with the US, simply materially benefit from the exploitation of the global south.
We’re on a knife edge, of capital being threatened with a crisis it doesn’t really know how to get itself out of. Not without violence and repression, at least. These moments are also windows of opportunity, when capital shows its face, as a genocidal engine. Don’t do their work for them, sheesh.

Y’all pissed that away with your attempts to annex two foreign nations who were allies to you.

Do you think all Germans should’ve been genocided because of the Nazi’s actions?

The Germans didn’t vote for Hitler out after his first term, then thought 4 years later when everyone and their dog said “Dude is going to be a dictator” and thought ‘Yeah we want that!’
Very different timelines. Not to mention Germany didn’t exactly have Global Communication Devices where the entire world is telling them “This is a bad idea, don’t do it” and Germany said “Nah, it won’t be that bad! He said he wants to be a dictator on Day 1 but he’s just trolling”.

So… No? But yes to genocide of the people in the US? Still confused as to why you’re so angry towards the struggling, deliberately misguided and exploited working class people instead of the capitalist elite.
