If you are invested in the United States continuing to exist in some form that is institutionally continuous, and yet you recognize the horrors of America's history of imperialism, how do you reimagine American foreign policy? Who is in this space?
Again, it is unclear how to get there politically, but it is fairly simple to imagine an America within my lifetime, institutionally continuous with America as it exists today, where presently-oppressed groups live decent lives.

And IS there ever an appropriate kind of international intervention? Is there ever an ethical imperative for a militarily stronger state to intervene in the affairs of a weaker one? If so, how should that nation conduct itself?

And like "no free movement of capital without free movement of labor" is a lovely slogan and makes a lot of sense theoretically, but pragmatically... what does that actually look like? Not "how do we make it politically feasible" but "what happens if we get what we want?"
