USA - Anti-empire

[rupol2000]

From the very beginning and at all times, except for the troubled times of the left and the Trumpists, the United States has done only one thing - freed the world from imperialism.

This is where the history of the United States began.
In modern times, it was the first and only country that challenged Eurocentrism and destroyed all the colonies.

The US is the first, and in fact the only one, to do this.

The French Revolution and the Spring of Nations were only after the US Revolution and the liberation of the American continent. They were inspired by America and acted with American support.


Therefore, the Statue of Liberty stands in the United States for a reason.

There were revolutions against what you call Eurocentrism. The English revolution was one. Our revolution was against a King ruling us from a country that was so faraway, that it took a month for a new tax law to reach our shore.

Our revolution was not a war against imperialism. Mostly it was against taxes and the rule of the King and Parliament.

If you read contemporary letters and documents, all the Patriots wanted was their rights as ENGLISHMEN just like those in England.

with the one glaring problem, that the felt they were not represented adequately in parliament.

The amount of time it took to get information across the ocean made real representation impossible.

Where did you get that it was a revolution against Imperialism? It was a petty internal conflict between the legislative and executive branches, nothing more. And it ended with the restoration of the monarchy.

It has nothing to do with the American Revolution.

This is complete illiterate nonsense. The American Revolution ended with the complete expulsion of Europeans from the American continent, and the end was put by the Monroe Doctrine.

The English colonists had no rights, they were serfs.

after our revolution, no europeans were on the continent?

please, I did not come here to argue nonsense.

 

[rupol2000]

Yes, most of the colonists were expelled, all the colonies of the Spanish, French and British imperialists were destroyed and the entire continent was liberated. The USA united and led Free America.

where do you get that I said it was a revolution against imperialism?

 

[rupol2000]

With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power, we have not interfered and shall not interfere. But with the Governments who have declared their independence and maintained it, and whose independence we have, on great consideration and on just principles, acknowledged, we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them, or controlling in any other manner their destiny, by any European power in any other light than as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States.

Monroe Doctrine​

where do you get that I said it was a revolution against imperialism?

because you said it.

Why then compare any shit with the Great American Revolution?

eurocentrism

 

[rupol2000]

eurocentrism

Eurocentrism is what imperialism is.

 

[elektra]

Eurocentrism is what imperialism is.

imperialism, can be a part of eurocentrism but imperialism is not a synonym of eurocentrism

 

[rupol2000]

Imperialism is part of Eurocentrism. This is the colonization of the world by European slaves and their descendants.

This is complete illiterate nonsense. The American Revolution ended with the complete expulsion of Europeans from the American continent, and the end was put by the Monroe Doctrine.

The American Revolution ended in 1783. The Monroe Doctrine was first articulated by President James Monroe in 1823. That is a 40 year gap in what you claim happened.

And Europeans were not expelled. The British were mostly expelled. The French were still most welcome, since they helped us win our independence. Other europeans were welcomed as long as they accepted that America was free.
