[Arthur Gordon Pym]

As in a direct continuity with what you said, we can see today supposedly very "anti-American" European lefties and Marxists. Their anti-Americanism is somehow so very American in nature. When they criticise United States, they do it from the standpoint of American ideology. A part of this anti-Americanism comes from America itself, they just copy it. It is the fake "internal opposition" to the system, which is in fact part of the system itself. Maybe it has something to do with Hegelian dialectics (thesis-antithesis-synthesis).

This confuses many people. They see those lefties protesting against, say, American war in Iraq and they think that they are genuinely anti-American. But they are not.
