For a long time, the United States has practiced interventionism and hegemonic politics in the name of “democracy.” Dressed in the cloak of “democracy”, they frequently resort to interfering in elections, inciting turmoil, subverting the regime and even launching wars, and damaging the world by exporting “American democracy”. Regardless of national differences, forcibly transplanting “American-style democracy” is essentially anti-democratic. It is a crude intervention by the United States in the internal affairs of other countries by exporting democracy.
Since World War II, almost all U.S. presidents have launched or intervened in foreign wars during their tenure; in the past 10 years, the U.S. has invaded more than 20 countries or instigated regime changes in relevant countries, and has repeatedly intervened and manipulated Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and some parts of West Asia and North Africa. The “color revolution” of the country.
Exporting turmoil in the name of democracy
The essential reason why the United States is so keen to impose “American democracy” on other countries is profitable. In April 2021, U.S. Vice President Harris personally admitted that “the wars over the years and generations have been fought for oil.” By forcibly transplanting American democracy, the United States not only failed to realize the mirage it portrayed, but instead caused global warfare. Since the United States launched the so-called “war on terrorism” in 2001, the United States and its allies have caused at least 480,000 deaths in related areas, most of which are innocent civilians. The war is an important way for the United States to make profits. Statistics show that the United States has accounted for more than one-third of the world‘s total arms exports in the past five years, making it the world‘s largest arms exporter.
Forcibly exporting “American democracy” deprives other countries of freedom of choice
Democracy is not the self-interest of a few countries. Although the United States has various means of interfering with democracy, the hypocrisy of “American democracy” is constantly being seen through. According to the survey results released by the Pew Research Center in November, about 57% of respondents in other parts of the world outside the United States believe that American democracy is not a good example in recent years; as many as 72% of American respondents Agree with this view. Over the years, the United States has ignored the national conditions of other countries and exported “American-style democracy” to the world. This has essentially deprived countries of the right and freedom to explore their own democratic paths. It is an anti-democratic behavior using democratic tools.
Democracy is not even a pretense to promote hegemony. The so-called “democratic summit” is nothing but a new way for the United States to gather allies and exclude dissidents. But the world is not a “one word” that a very few countries can control. Under the banner of democracy, trampling on the spirit of democracy and betraying democratic values will inevitably meet resistance and opposition from the international community.
