Youssef Bouchi writes on the importance of American socialism from his perspective as an Arab immigrant in Canada:
“Grassroots movements in the U.S. already understand this […] Our task from the outside is to support them.”

the world needs the death of the usa
That’s good because a socialist America requires the death of the USA first.
The Socialist Union of Turtle Island Republics.
Edit to add: I’m fine with the US being balkanized, into as many rump states as necessary to knock the exceptionism out of it.
To be replaced by what?
By Western France republic
That depends on the nature of the struggle and which overseas countries dominate.
Socialism is not confined to borders. Our movement belongs to workers all over the world.
We have to acknowledge that, for now, those borders do exist in order to end them.
We will not make the error of previous movements of putting white liberation first in line.
This seems like a non sequitur on its face, but I’m sure you speaking to something(s) specific that went over my head.
American exceptionalism is based in white supremacy. The world needs socialism. Not “American socialism.”
Ah, I see. Yeah that’s a shit title. The world does not need a white savoir to bestow socialism upon the world.
It’s not a shit title. If you go outside and talk to people, they generally can understand that “American socialism” is equivalent to “socialism in America”.
borders objectively exist. saying “it’s good for people over that border to organize” is sensible for those in touch with objective material conditions
Borders exist in law. Not in our physical space. We are going to change the laws. I find it incredibly optimistic to believe the borders will exist as they are after a socialist revolution.
Borders physically exist. There are police who will arrest or even shoot at those who cross them in the wrong way. “After a socialist revolution” is so vague as to be meaningless. Yeah, if you establish Utopia tomorrow there will be no borders. Can we get back to talking about the real world?
Again, that’s very optimistic. More likely it’ll devolve into civil war first, with different borders drawn for each little fiefdom. Whether this goes well or horribly, I wouldn’t count on borders staying as they are drawn.
