Everything to do with the USA's own Imperial Backyard. From hispanics to the originary peoples of the americas to the diasporas, South America to Central America, to the Caribbean to North America (yes, we're also there).

I wonder how much longer capitalists can manage running countries when they have to resort to means like these. Lenin said the revolution comes when the ruling class is unable to rule by their old ways, developed after Marx thought the most industrially advanced countries would have their successful revolts first and was proven wrong. When will the breaking point hit? China has already claimed welfare capitalism hit its limit when the French were protesting against pension reform, so social democracy is officially on its death bed in the imperial core. Does now the US do to Western Europe then what the US did to Chile in '73, Russia in the '90s?
I get the feeling when the next major recession hits, it's either fascism or socialism and no in-between. It could be this year, next year, five years from now... ironic that most people in the world could be casting the last votes of proper liberal democracy this year
