US Imperialism is the primary driver of US wealth and power. Its not the free market you moron- its monetary and resource hegemony backed by brute force. The extraordinary privilege of the US Petrodollar hegemony backed by military threat and often outright violence (ongoing unlawful use of drones strikes by US since the early 2000s for example and kidnappings and murders via extraordinary renditions) is what your financialised wealth and privilege are built upon- the major exports of USA today are Death and Debt. Politics is the means by which human groups decide how to allocate and organise labour and resources- neoliberalism and crony capitalism have failed. Fuck I guess you think the banks owning your government is good thing! Get real and look at history- the best economy and society is where rentseeking cartels and monopolists are restricted and resources are allocated fairly. Chinas mixed economy is way outperforming US crony capitalism but you cannot see it. Death to US Exceptionalist delusions and the banksters and murderers who orchestrate US hegemony - wake up to mixed economies where resources and wealth are fairly allocated with free public transport and education and affordable housing are priorities.
