Even neoliberal economist Paul Krugman admits China is not only ahead, but US is unlikely to catch up even if the GOP loses power in 2028. (paulkrugman.substack.com)

To the third world, American fascism has been around for a while. Ask Palestine.

This is just American imperialism coming back home

    Uh, to the Dominican Republic and Turkey, American fascism hasn't been around for a while so, no, you're incorrect.

    Imperialism is not fascism.

    It's been fascism since the word was a word.

    Dominican Republic and Turkey have experienced fascist movements and politicians, but they've never been fascist, afaik; they are bourgeois democracies nowadays with ultra-right factions.

    Makan, have you checked how the Dominican Republic treats our fellow haitian comrades?

    This is just one example:

    Domincan Republic have a fascist and neoliberal gov't and are one great US bootlicker in the region. The Domincans rep are literally following the same playbook as their imperialist dad in the treatment of immigrants.

    Edit

    To illustrate what I mention above, this is one poster in a hospital showing the protocol to hunt Haitians migrants:

    Yes, they are, but they were also couped by the United States.

    Either way, they are not fascist; I've been there. I know how they treat the Haitains. You haven't seen anything yet compared to the opposition party in the Dominican Republic.

    Same with Turkey, which has worse factions than the AKP.
