I read that book already. It's just a bad book. Don't assume I don't understand things.

The U$ is the product of horrific genocide. Literally a successful version of the third Reich.

Ok, sure. But that doesn't answer any of my questions. Since you want to draw comparisons to the Nazis, did the soviets scapegoat the German people in East Germany or did they suppress the Nazi ideology and liberate the people regardless of nationality?

If i steal your car and give it to a friend, do you deserve your car back? What if it’s been a very long time?

This is just a shitty moralism, not an objective analysis. All land is stolen if you want to go there. And in communism me and your friend will share the car. Just like the land will be shared. There are two worlds that are exposed to us. The world that is, and the world that should be. With enough effort, we can objectively make sense of the world that is.
We can not objectively understand the world that should be, because there is a different version of that world for every person. But at the individual level, the fantasies we have play a small role in the real world.

So let's stick to the world that is and you can answer my questions from before.
