America is involved in a covert and confused fight for Socialism. A fight in which many of the bourgeois political categories and divisions have been surpassed or inverted. Thus, the BBB Act is just a version of President Trump's acknowledged and unrealised plans for the renewal of infrastructure, a 'socialist' rebuilding of the country that was supposed to be carried out with the support of the, allegedly, most 'conservative' part of a population that came out in support of a new, more working class, Republican Party rejuvenated by Lincoln's ideals.
The fact that the Democrats had to steal Trump's policies while vilifying him, shows that the issue of socialism and public investment, is a fundamental one in American politics, as always has been, as it is not true that American competitiveness is based on a 'ruthless commitment to free-market fundamentalism' but, on the contrary, free-market fundamentalism and its myths are based on the American, largely hidden and silenced, SOCIALIST and massive public investment, especially, as is well known, in the military-industrial complex and its many spin-offs. Capitalism and 'free' market, can operate and survive because there is a social fabric in the background. In that sense, it would be more accurate that it is China that is, still, copying the USA, than the other way around.
The resistance to this new elite 'socialism' is understandable, as it is predicated on new taxes, after the many taxes imposed on the American population through mass, uncontrolled, immigration and fake Covid-1984 emergencies and, of course, the corruption of an elite that still fills the Swamp. America has little room for manoeuvre, as its dominance is at stake. Like in Cuba, the motto of the United States should be 'Socialism or Death'...!!!
