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

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".
