No, you said this very well! 100% agreed, and another angle to explore is the impact on the ideological front for liberalism. The expansion of democratization in the US happened direcrly alongside the conquest, genocide, and enslavement of everyone that wasn't white, creating a semi-landowner class almost like the yeomanry many settlers decended from.
In Europe, this same process happened, but alongside colonization, rather than settler-colonialism. The bourgeois democratization movements in the metripoles existed alongside the most brutal and savage treatment of the colonies, only this time separated by the ocean waters and land mass.
This type of "Herrenvolk Democracy," or "democracy for the master-race," is what shaped how the US and European bourgeois societies formed. The US Empire is incredibly brutal in its ongoing treatment of EMPOC, but the Europeans have developed a blindness towards their own guilt by focusing on the more naked brutality of the US Empire.
Basically pulled this from Losurdo's article Lenin and Herrenvolk Democracy, which I've been reading (alongside some Amilcar Cabral and Comintern stuff), lol. You are spot-on!
exactly, always a good thing to point France was "a democracy" when they were cannibalizing Africa and murdering one million Algerians. They don't understand is when criticizing capitalism we're not saying they're suffering directly, we're saying their heaven is built on billions of people's living hell
Ironically AES states got their populations and infrastructures completely devastated during the 1900s, yet they are on par with European "development" and QOL, and still have a strong military and without needing to make life a living hell for the global majority. But socialism always fails smh
Spot-on!
