So your grudge isn’t about people calling out the genocide? It is specifically about the “genocide joe” moniker?

Either you are blind or don’t want to hear it. People have been calling out Trump for this genocide since day one. Heck, there’s hundreds of posts doing that right now on Lemmy

It begrudgingly half-way adopted things that were already common everywhere, then for the next decades went around the world spreading fascism and ultra-conservatism everywhere it went.
The US has always been a deeply regressive country

Either way he would still be an anti-union jackass so I don’t really care what he would think

What are you smoking?

The US actively worked against all of those movements. It proudly supported appartheid and colonialism in Africa, propped up fascist regimes in Latin America and opposed the independence of places like Vietnam. The US government didn’t like anyone that implied blacks and whites were equal, and in fact anyone who dared to imply it was spied and silenced.

Most of those ideas were inspired by socialism and were supported by the soviet union, but you wont hear that awkward truth inside the american education system.

If something bad came from the Soviet dissolution (besides the extreme decline of living standards in many of those countries) is that it completely killed any left-wing ideals in the west. Unions, welfare and common good were seen as “defeated” ideas, because capitalism had won. People still haven’t recovered from the “capitalism won” mentality, so anything that comes even close to left wing is immediately shut down
