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".
