The first US Democratic presidential debate has reminded us that America’s “culture of violence” controls Washington’s policies and prompts US leaders to wage wars to gain more power, an American writer and activist says.
Mickey Z., the author of Occupy this Book, told Press TV on Wednesday that the way Democratic presidential contenders put forward their plans for the future of America is indicative of a “higher necrophilic culture” that must be “dismantled before there is nothing left to save.”
“It certainly is a reminder of how deeply ingrained this violent culture is, how deeply ingrained the patriarchal culture is in the United States,” he said.
The analyst added that during the debate, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “toughen themselves up and compete over who is more willing to rain down military violence upon this group, or this nation or that nation.”
