He decided to spread a ‘new gospel’ of: All that is wrong with the world is because of the existence of the United States of America.
He decided that the USA should “pay for its sins” that he had been taught by his anti-American and communist grandparents and mentor Frank Marshall Davis. He decide that the USA should ‘lead from behind’ which means that the USA should be a follower, not a leader.
He believed that the weaking of the USA economically, militarily, and diplomatically was the “correct and proper” thing to do. It was also inline with the goals of the destruction of the USA established by the Soviet and American Communist Parties, the Marxist ‘Frankfurt School’ of expatriate German communists, and the dogma of Saul Alensky.
