USianism
A critical term for the ultranationalist, expansionist, imperialist ideology of the United States, analogous to “Ruscism.” USianism is characterized by: American exceptionalism (“chosen nation,” “city upon a hill”), unilateral right to invade countries (Iraq, Vietnam, Panama, Grenada), the doctrine of pre‑emptive war, global expansion of military bases (over 800 worldwide), interventionism via the CIA and USAID, and dehumanisation of adversaries as an “axis of evil.” Critics argue that USianism operates as a revolving‑door fascism: it alternates between liberal democracy and torture (Abu Ghraib, Guantánamo), between human rights rhetoric and civilian bombing. The term is used by Global South analysts, anti‑imperialist leftists, and realist geopolitics currents.
Example: “A Palestinian activist said: ‘USianism is Ruscism in English: the same UN vetoes, the same “spheres of influence” in blood and fire – only the T‑72 is replaced by the Predator drone and the annexation of Crimea by the coup in Ukraine.’”
