"Grassroots movements in the U.S. already understand this [...] Our task from the outside is to support them."

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".
