All the time I hear about “the CIA will coup this”, “America supported that”, “These people opposed US Imperialism”. A topic could have absolutely nothing to do with america and involve a place on the exact opposite part of the earth and Americans will find a way to make it about America. For example, people talk about Russian politics and Putin yet seem to support Putin wholeheartedly because his Russia “opposes american imperialism”. This framing of the conversation seemingly ignoring how Russian people feel about his reign, how the EU has been having to drag america into the latest sanctions against Russia, and how for the last 4 years America had an ostensibly Pro-Russian president. I swear American Leftists don’t care at all about Capitalism or Communism and just want to oppose the United States. Most of the world and people don’t care about American influence, let alone to such an obsessive degree.

the largest war in the history of the world had the US handing millions of dollars of stuff to communists so they could fight some anti-communists. During Karl Marx’ time communists all thought the greatest country of reactionary thought that was an existential threat to communism was Russia and that is where the first successful communist project happened. I think its an inherently negative mentality to think america is the hopeless backwater that will eternally oppose communism

So you found the one event in the last 150 years that doesn’t appear to involve America.

Actually, that’s fairly easy. Someone had to fund the operations of the nascent French Third Republic and it certainly wasn’t going to be Bismarck.
