Ron Paul uses the the term on the right and many libertarians call it an empire (several military bases all over the place!)

Usually, it’s in the context that it’s not sustainable with the debts being taken on and this is what our MARXIST professor is getting at although I would say he’s late to the party

I don’t think the word “like” describes your sycophancy.

A devout marxist and known eleite propgandist spouting CHinese sumpramcy. You let’s all take that at face value.

China is trying to ascend but thier economy is worse than America’s, way more fragile and they have ghost cities to show for it.

BRICs is also trying but has not yet taken over the world market.

Your posted article amounts to lies and misinformation, as for some truth-—NO. The entire point of the article is to literally lie and create issues for America.

You just don’t like some of the language / lingo they sometimes use. It’s raw but it’s nothing new.

I like Rand and Ron. I just dislike obsequious butt-kissing.

Interesting. I’m looking to post more about Ron as its his birthday coming up

Don’t judge me based on a Marxist professor. No I do not endorse his views on everything but you know in Congress there are alliances between right and left on foreign policy and some other issues.

“I stop reading when I see the author’s first name is Professor...”

Also you can try “bombshell” in a title or article to quit reading, it will save you even more time!

He’s right. Mr. Let’s Make a Deal and his team just do not get it, and CONgress is too corrupt to do what needs to be done. And then there is PE firms doing to the country what they do to companies.

In 1954 Congress passed the Communist Control act and signed by Eisenhower although it’s not enforced it needs to be and updated to include Marxism and socialism.

Speak about it all you want to cover free speech but it should ban anyone from holding political office of any type including local, state or federal that runs on those political stances and automatically removes them if they do after being in office as a threat to the Republic.

Doesn’t matter. Your point is well made and accurate.

After all the abject failures of Marxism since it was concocted, it’s hard to believe there are still people dim-witted enough to still think it’s a good idea.

The takeover in large American cities by anti-American Muslims is more of a danger to our country than anything else.

"The American empire is over," Richard D. Wolff, U.S. professor of international affairs, tells Al Jazeera.

It ain’t over until the progressives (dementiacrats, democratic socialists, socialists… you know, communists) are rounded up in “reeducation camps,” put to work on collective farms, “rehabilitated” or wind up as soylent green.

Hogwash. Professor tells Al Jazeera. Kisses the mouthpiece for Islam’s totalitarian ideology.
