Is American liberal democracy the most destructive ideology in human history?
It’s one of the most damaging to the soul, but it hardly rivals the levels of death and destruction other ideologies have wrought.

Not even close.
>>18220275America is a republic, not a democracy.
Nah but late stage capitalism is.
>>18220275America is what occurs when the spirit of merchan class goes astray.
>>18220477did OP state the US's form of government anywhere in his post?
>>18220275Yes and it's not even close.
>>18220275No
>>18220483>we're in LATE STAGE capitalism bro!>I swear it's the end stages!>just a non-specified amount of time until the whole system comes tumbling down!>2 more weeks!I've been hearing about "late stage capitalism" for 30 years now.

>>18220275The USA started out as a federal republic but has since degenerated into a kleptocratic neo-feudalist banana Republic governed by a criminal mafia oligarchy
>>18220285FpbpBetter systems may have killed more people but no other system has accelerated global civilizational rot like the one in Washington
>>18220275Seething third-worlder thread?
>>18222496>>18221358More like seething chuds. Communists obviously hate the US and all but the way they talk about liberal democracy is less dramatic than the way Chuds too. Commies just see it as a "stage" to "move past" while Chuds bitch nonstop about how it's le end of the sovl because they can't have sex
>>18220275No but capitalism isAmerican liberal democracy is originally the idea that every individual should be recognized and have a voice, aswell as collectively decide on how to run society.If you actually asked people how they think people should be treated and which values should be upheld, you'd probably end up with a syncretic mix of pro-labor social democracy with conservative elements.What fucked this up is essentially the unbrindled view of profits as the pinnacle of human existence. Media, parties, PACS etc all essentially conspire to maximize profits leading to identity-base politics and a decline in democracy.>>18220287nta but it's the classic critique of Tocqueville I think. If you let the average Joe decide, he's going to privilege his material condition rather than opt to uphold long-term national and abstract goals like beauty, culture, religion etc.>>18221356Nigger what do you think has happened to the working and middle class since the 60s ? What do you think has happened to billionaires, our ressources, our industries etc ?>>18222509This. Communism is just liberalism + abolition of private property of the means of production to """free""" the worker through a teleological reading of history (justifies killing everyone btw).
