I'm not anti-American, nor am I a nationalist; I'm a socialist - I oppose capitalism and all that goes with it - imperialism, territorialism, racism, sexism, militarism; all injustice.
With that logical paradigm, then why would you be upset when I tried to use your nationality against you?
I didn't get upset. But you're right when you say "use your nationality against you"; I rejected that as irrelevant.
Better yet, why did you call yourself British if you reject nationalism? Wouldn't such purging include such labels? I'm confused now.
I'm English in that I was born in England, and I live in England. Those are biological and geographical facts. But I'm not a nationalist.
Stop making strawman arguments.
As for the rest of your post, it's the same old, same old: "Socialism fails because of its own shortcomings," yeah yeah yeah. Other people's indifference to other people's needs doesn't come into it at all. "Let's all laugh at socialism... meanwhile, though, why is my own country so
fucked?" God bless America indeed.
Again: the revolution must be permanent. Socialism can't and won't happen overnight. To expect that is a symptom of capitalism: impatience to the utmost. Anything that requires hard work, patience and a bit of solidarity must somehow be deemed a hindrance to human progress. Ah, the logic!
