          A guy who, unlike Vaush, loves China, but, like Vaush, thinks US is great.

          He argues that bringing up slavery and the genocide of indigenous population is "moralizing" and the reason US became an empire is because of the Deep State.

            I don't think he thinks the US is great, he says all the time that US is on the descent & that its imperialism must be attacked from all angles

            Also don't recall him saying that bringing up genocide is "moralizing", but it is true that from a foreign policy standpoint, the US didn't pursue anything other than a protectionist & "American system" economic model until roughly the 1880s & 1890s. It was the drift toward taking the reigns from the Brits in the late Victorian era that these issues on the global stage cropped up, in China & Africa most egregiously, but also by the time Spain's imperialist grip had hit a wall

                I see that at ~10:28 he says that he doesn't think morality is the basis of material reality, which is true and is the Marxist position. He also says that he doesn't contest that genocide & brutal removal of Indigenous happened

                The point is that bourgeois morality & bourgeois right shouldn't be the focus.

                Return of ancestral lands & restitution to Indigenous groups should be a focus, but for Communists it's certainly not relegated to this "moralism."

                In 1875 Marx calls it a "crime" to "pervert" the Party's "realistic outlook" with "ideological nonsense about right and other trash so common among the democrats and French socialists"
