conquest.
The egyptians, Mongols, the Carthaginians, the Greeks, the Romans, the British in Africa and India, the French and Germans in Africa, the spanish in Mexico, and probably the Apaches, the Comanches, the Maya and the Inca as well. Certainly the Hutu, the tootsi, the pygmy and the rest of the tribes in Africa. Including the ones that enriched themselves by selling Africans to European slave traders.
None of those civilizations get compared to Hitler. Only the United States does.
The country that has done more for people around the world than anyone ever has, gets compared to one of the biggest mass murderers and devils in the history of planet earth.
Have any of those others; the Romans, the Greeks, the Mongols, the Apaches, the Hutus or the tootsies apologized for their conquests. Have any made the formerly enslaved people citizens with all rights in their countries?
And yet America is the bad guy. Civilization advances through conquest. American Indians are a concord people. Sorry. It started 500 years ago. Injuns were defeated, cheated and not treated very well. Like other conquered people throughout history.
Probably would have been better if Europeans had never shown up at Jamestown and Plymouth rock. Injuns could still be hunting buffalo, doing rain dances, and hunting with stone axes.
Socialists tried and failed in Nazi Germany. Communists tried and failed in the Soviet union. Communism is still being tried in China and socialism is failing miserably in Venezuela. But it is capitalism that gets criticized. Because it is America, and people like the raskol, Drago, and the rest if dregs of this board and this country love to blame America first.
