This Vet brilliantly exposes the evils of US imperialism:
“The recruitment tool of the US military is to go to impoverished areas and offer things America doesn’t offer you like housing, healthcare, and income. We offer soldiers socialism to go abroad & defend capitalism.”
How do Americans not grasp how evil this is? The U.S. intentionally keeps its own people poor so they’re forced to enlist in the army to blow up innocent people in other countries, all to defend a capitalist system that makes the rich even richer.
When you defend US capitalism, you are defending a system that deprives your own people healthcare and housing so they’ll murder people abroad and fight in endless wars to ensure US corporations can plunder and extract other countries’ resources.
This is why we fight to end capitalism and build a world where no one is exploited or bombed to make another person rich. A world where the economy is based on meeting social needs and caring for the commons instead of endlessly exploiting others for profit.
