    a Federalist view of American history WWI anti-free trade and pro tariff video anti-British empire.
    a documentary in the Style of micheal Moore
    it is about competition between the British empire and the American republic.

    I do not agree with the conclusions of the video.

    it is interesting to watch.

    I think you're being a little unfair to Michael Moore with that comparison.

    He's a lot more tabloid and a lot less pseudo intellectual in his approach. He plays for laughs more.

    Interesting. I had heard the term "Larouchey" used in an American debate (I can't remember by whom) as a term of abuse but hadn't known what it meant. Now I can guess.

    A little OTT and I think one would need to check up and contextualise the "facts" raised in support of their hypothesis. But a different perspective is always illuminating.

    Yes, I've heard it's a great book. It's one of those I say I must get around to reading but never seem to.
