Ali refused US imperialism

Muhammad Ali refused to kill Vietnamese in order to make United States (US) oligarchs richer. Please click on the following link to hear him refuse military service: https://youtu.be/VNwKBF0lAXc

32 years earlier, US Major General Smedley Butler wrote a book called WAR IS A RACKET where he denounced US imperialism.

Ali said that the enemy of his people is the US. The fact of the matter is that US oligarchs are also the enemy of the 99% of Americans!

Today, 9 of the 10 richest men in the world are Americans, while almost 40 million Americans live in poverty, and another 201 million more live from paycheck to paycheck. 

Puerto Rico is the place where more people are recruited into the US military in order to allegedly "spread democracy". Puerto Rico, however, has never herself enjoyed democracy for the past 127 years! And yet, the US claims to support Taiwan's inalienable right to self-determination and independence!

The US has consistently refused to comply with 43 United Nations' resolutions demanding the immediate return of Puerto Rico's sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. In the meantime, 6 million Puerto Ricans have abandoned their national territory (gentrification), and almost half of the 3 million people in Puerto Rico live in poverty too!

When will the Americans and Puerto Ricans resist like Ali did?
