"Rubio's speech was obviously imperialist and repulsive (and all global South states should take note and plan deterrence accordingly). But it also shows he understands an important historical fact that most people do not grasp and which the US has spent the past half century trying to erase and obscure. Namely the anti-colonial movement which was one of humanity's greatest moral and political achievements was led in large part under the banner of socialism. Rubio referred to "anti-colonial uprisings that would transform the world and drape the red hammer and sickle across vast swaths of the"
