Perhaps not, but they can certainly tell you about the wonders of the US overthrowing their governments and the long term repercussions.

Overthrown them how? We don't own their countries. Hell, a lot of those countries are our enemies and always threatening us. Those countries are poor and struggling due to their own failures. A lot of countries the United States are working with are actually quite prosperous or doing better because of us.

this is not true, he's correct that the us has meddling in the affairs of those countries, but bizarrely he also supports socialism... what a contradiction

This comment doesn't make any sense.  

1.)  How does the US meddling in the affairs of other countries have anything to do with socialism?  The US is not a socialist country.
2.)  Socialism isn't the same as big government.  You can have big governments without socialism and you can have socialism without any government.  

3.)  Socialism doesn't mean meddling with other countries.

4.) A number of those countries that got meddled with were largely driven by right wing politicians.  

"The US is not a socialist country."

i didn't claim that to be the case

 

" Socialism isn't the same as big government"

so how else do you manage the seized resources of the community?

 

"How does the US meddling in the affairs of other countries have anything to do with socialism?"

" Socialism doesn't mean meddling with other countries."

not intrinsically no, but the power of the united states handed to it through its citizens has allowed that meddling to take place

if the us government didn't have the kind of power it has and should not have, it would be able to do all it has done and will do

 

"A number of those countries that got meddled with were largely driven by right wing politicians"

which is not relevant
