Most people think the United States fought fascism — but the truth is more complicated. This video explores how U.S. colonialism, Manifest Destiny, the Monroe Doctrine, and Jim Crow laws provided a blueprint that influenced Nazi Germany.We trace the invention of race in the 1700s by leading thinkers, how these ideas justified slavery, genocide, and land theft, and how the Nazis studied American racial laws and expansion as models for their own system.We also discuss how these structures of white supremacy and property-based liberalism continue to shape modern society, and why movements like Land Back and decolonization are crucial for undoing the violence of the past.
