Unfortunately, a liberal democracy is the strongest path forward to a better system of government/economic redistribution.

Citation needed.

One of the biggest scams liberalism pulled on us is to convince us that we exist in societies where we actually have "rights" and "freedoms."

In reality, we exist in a society that is hierarchically based on privilege.

How American Institutions Failed to Meet the Moment

Lol! What failure?

Seems to me that they succeeded in their anti-democratic function, and succeeded spectacularly.

a hegemony with a 100-years tradition of upkeeping democracy against major non-democratic players

Your proof of this is... what?

Latin America was essentially a retirement resort for fascist war criminals after WW2.

It turns out that the dictators who was friendly to US corporate interests was also raging Nazi sympathizers. It must be a complete coincidence though and totally not related at all.

...and the other half was left in Germany to fill up West Germany's intelligence services.

it hasn’t been adopted country wide because the actual majority of people don’t want it

Your argument is as flat as month-old Coke. The vast majority of people EVERYWHERE did not want liberalism (or the capitalist pillaging and looting it apologized for) - it had to be forced onto people through brutal colonialist violence - yet here we are, aren't we?

I see that you are just one of those people that thinks everything is tied to race.

I'm not the one that "tied" everything to race, Clyde - ask your "western" ancestors why THEY fetishistically "tied" everything to race to such a degree that their oh-so-precious "western" civilization is incapable of existing without it.

Saying a population is non homogeneous is not racist.

Clyde, defining "sameness" purely by RACE is white supremacist.

Christians have been accepting oppressors taking a piss on the teachings of JC since Constantine The (supposedly) "Great" did it all the way back in ancient times.

Which is why cities and municipalities have the freedom to adopt communist ideals.

They do? Since when?

The USA in total is far too large and diverse to make it work country wide.

Where is your proof of this?

neither culturally, politically, or geographically homogeneous.

You sound no different than the right-wingers pretending that "cultural (ie, racial, since right-wingers don't actually have the foggiest clue what culture is) homogeneity" is what makes countries successful.

It would take an all powerful small ruling class forcing compliance in order to make it work on such a large scale.

Lol! Says who? You?

That's the whole point of right-wing "anti-immigrant" hysteria - it has always been about the repression of the cheapest source of labour (even cheaper than carceral slavery). Hell, the dynamics of this is even perfectly articulated in the second book of the Old Testament.

But the goons doing the dirty work doesn't need to know that.

In This Country, We Hate Nazis

Lol! No they don't.

The US has always loved fascism. It's the only one of two political ideologies it endorses.
