    But there’s a huge difference between the progress of the 70’s, and the insane armament and undermining of workers unions, the poor and even democracy that Reagan began in the 80’s.

    Sure, except none of this is relevant to the topic. It’s hard to argue that things weren’t somewhat (and only somewhat) better in the 70s, but… so what? The pendulum was always going to swing in the other direction, and it did before the US did anything even close to redeeming itself. What’s your point here?

      I want USA to go back to the optimism and respect for human rights they had in the 70’s.

      This is the context of the topic you responded to. So it has EVERYTHING to do with the topic.
