Agreed. Shared your post with friend trapped in USA. I found his reply both interesting & sad
Well, I would say to that writer: many of us do believe in the same things, if you mean a government that truly serves the people and limits the power of capitalism. But the US is the heart of global capitalism -- it is stronger here than anywhere else, in a way that you would need to live here or at least stay here for some time to see and understand.

The capitalists took power here and have squelched meaningful opposition for a very long time -- killing unions, dismantling socialist and communist organizations, making sure money can and does buy elections, while thoroughly brainwashing Americans into believing socialism is evil. [2/3]
