so just the imperialism meatgrinder of stuff like the vietnam war and a time of racial segregation domestically and the immediate aftermath of its end (bc everyone totally respected the change and that’s why we aren’t still dealing with the impacts to this day with elder boomer maga shitheads that literally grew up with it). these were definitely great times and a wonderful country to want to return to and you’re definitely not holding up some whitewashed bullshit in your mind.

Like literally telling someone they can’t use a water fountain because they’re too black and violently invading a country for decades because they chose a system of government you disagree with seems pretty right wing authoritarian but maybe that’s just me. America has literally always been fascist, there’s just a few times in more recent history where ultra fascists like the Nazis gave us a villain to be like “well at least we aren’t that” as we send the cia into Latin America to overthrow a democratically elected government that once again doesn’t align with capitalism

not the social and capitalist issues of the time, in particular, but the time and policies that created the middle class.

Do you not realize they were created on the backs of oppression? This is part of why the middle class is a myth, we are all working class comrade

war is oppression. progress happens in small steps.
