If China has socialism with Chinese characteristics, then what characteristics will America have? (assuming it goes that way)

    I somewhat agree, but I feel like "we" would have to be careful about it.

    I think the idea of the American Revolution can be good in gaining support for the idea of Revolution more generally and in a socialist/marxist context can even some-what be supported as a kind of "bourgeoise revolution".

    But we also can't push alot of these harmful founding myths under the rug, or how it relates to Native Americans, African Americans, or even people who don't own property. If we can get Americans to understand the AR was "good", but not some wholey good act from our genius founders who had perfectly noble intentions...if we can get them to understand it had it's faults (to say the least) and alot of people still suffered because of it....maybe they could be convinced to look more kindly on historical communist revolutions, but that might be wishful thinking on my part.
