Ron Paul and Lew Rockwell aren’t Marxists. They’re just kooks.
I was going to cease commenting in this link but have changed my mind.
FYI, just about everyone today agrees that our entry into WWI set the stage for the Treaty of Versailles that was unfair to Germany which in its turn, led to Adolf Hitler’s ascendancy with his German National Socialism. Without the war, we would never have had WWII along with the horrors of German National Socialism. In its turn, the war led to Soviet Socialism which led to Chinese, Viet-Namese & Cambodian communism. The conflict itself, led Germany to send Lenin to Russia to foment revolution to take Russia off Germany’s Eastern Front.
Even FDR’s most ardent supporters agree that his maneuvers before the attack on Pearl Harbor were calculated to provoke it. Japan tried multiple times to negotiate some type of settlement and The White House rejected each & every one.
Not too long after WWII, one of our prior allies, The USSR, was our committed enemy and our former enemies, Japan & Germany, our allies against that former ally.
At least one of the attacks at the Gulf of Tonkin didn’t happen. After the protracted war, Viet-Nam, led by those victorious enemies from the north, has us as one of its biggest trading partners.
The list goes on & on & on. I must be a kook also but at least I know when I’ve been scammed.
