America would be much better off in doing what it does best: medical research, technological innovation, local and state political democracy at home, consumer service and protection on its own turf. Instead, it has devoted itself, above everything, including its remarkable resilience in management and strengths in science and technology, to the endless and absolute pursuit of ideological capitalism.
Ideological capitalism is not only an exclusively designed economic system in the US, it is a holistic intrinsically conceived culture. It manifests itself in the exploitation of all human-based systems: social, economic, political, intellectual, conceptual, philosophical, technological, communicative, national and international, with an outcome of a singularly-focused ideological American consciousness - egocentric, megalomaniac, narcissistic, contemptuous and uncompromising to everything that does not fit into its preconceived mould.
It is a commercial culture that, amongst many other things, breeds limitless greed and promotes endless exploitation of foreign markets and nations. This particular aspect of economic and political "exploitation" is the backbone and nucleus of the American global capitalistic culture that targets weak foreign countries and markets at a mind-boggling profit rate that sees $1 bring back a $10 return. American high-profile economic prosperity at home depends on the endless continuation of "exploitative" management of foreign nations.
Consequently, the US decrees and extols the political control of Third World nations. Hence, American ideological capitalist culture promotes intra- and international conflicts paving way for US military interventions around the world. In addition, the American military industrial complex, with its arms production and worldwide sale, provides the US political establishment with the leverage to expand its hegemony over other countries. An explicit policy objective of American ideological capitalism, in order to promote and spread itself, is to install its "agent" regimes in impoverished and weak nations. This "policy objective" is a device of control management - it helps to instil insidious market mechanisms which cause the development of a "ruling elite" in these nations with economic, political and socio-cultural concentration of power. The Americans consolidate their hold over these nations through these elite regimes that they have helped create.
Since its existence as a nation, no US administration or president has ever deviated from the absolute pursuit of this American ideology. The institutionalised ideological capitalistic cultural system does not allow such a deviation. The end result of this devotional commitment to the spread of American ideological capitalism is that each and every US president has pursued political confrontations and overseas military interventions as one of the fundamentals of American foreign policy. The pretexts of these military interventions have been various and have changed with the times. But the fundamentals have remained the same - there have been no exceptions to this cherished dream to dominate humanity all over the world. As a result, each American president has had to his name, on his ideological calling, the repulsive distinction of digging vast graveyards of innocent victims of its military aggression in every corner of the world.
