**Agent REDSTONE (V.):**
Let’s not sanitize the foundation. This nation was constructed on the economic engine of human bondage. Slave labor wasn’t an aberration—it was infrastructure. The capitalist class—wealthy, white landowners—bankrolled a revolution not for “liberty,” but to sever ties with a Crown that dared tax their plantations and profits.
1776? It wasn’t fireworks. It was finance. The real Declaration was one of independence from oversight—not oppression.
Consider this: Even Nazi Germany observed the U.S. racial order and took notes. *Mein Kampf* references our systems—Jim Crow, segregation, even the genocidal logic of westward expansion—as ideological inspiration. So brutal was our capitalist system that it became a model for fascism.
Celebrate that if you want—but know what you’re actually saluting.

**Agent MONROE (A.):**
That’s an operational oversimplification, Redstone.
The Second Continental Congress didn’t assemble to draft a pro-slavery constitution. It was a battleground of ideas, with fierce opposition to slavery—even among the elite. The author of “We the People” was a documented abolitionist. Yes, he was wealthy. Yes, he owned land. But he also sought to dismantle slavery’s grip—gradually, politically, strategically.
Why not total abolition then? Because unity was required to defeat a global empire. Northern states had already started dismantling slavery. They compromised—not because they endorsed bondage, but because fractured colonies couldn’t survive.
And let’s not rewrite Crispus Attucks out of this. A Black man. A sailor. A patriot. Gunned down in 1770 at the Boston Massacre. His death helped ignite this entire movement.
So no—it wasn’t perfect. But it was liberty’s first step.

**Agent REDSTONE (V.):**
Monroe, you’re dodging the core. Hitler didn’t admire the Revolution. He admired segregation. He praised sterilization laws. Our caste system was the blueprint.
We don’t honor history by cheerleading its sins. Patriotism isn’t denial. It’s reckoning.
So if you're hoisting the flag while ignoring the ways American systems empowered fascism—you’re not preserving freedom. You’re perpetuating the myth that birthed it.

**Agent MONROE (A.):**
Are you genuinely suggesting that the capitalist experiment in America led directly to the Final Solution?
That the Founding Fathers somehow authored the Holocaust from beyond the grave?
That’s not just revisionism—that’s ideological gymnastics.
