While the Lebanese working class, peasantry, and impoverished masses have repeatedly spilled blood to

Late-stage American capitalism is caught in a self-destructive loop: chasing global dominance abroad while squeezing the working class at home. These two forces aren't happening by accident—they feed on each other. As trillions flow into maintaining a global military empire, the domestic foundation supporting it is falling apart from years of austerity, crumbling infrastructure, and political gridlock.

For over sixty years, the foreign policy apparatus of the United States has waged an uninterrupted, unilateral war against the island. This is a war executed not with the thunder of immediate nationwide shock-and-wave invasions—though that has been attempted—but through the quiet, grinding violence of structural strangulation.

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the air is thick with a familiar, manufactured nostalgia. We are about to be subjected to a multi-billion-dollar marketing campaign of national self-congratulation. Red, white, and blue banners will drape corporate headquarters; politicians will deliver rehearsed speeches about the "enduring miracle of American democracy"; and mainstream media will spin a comforting yarn about a nation that, despite a few historic "bumps
