Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State and National Security Adviser, on Friday, November 13, at the Federalist Association's "National Lawyers Conference" in Washington, criticized what he called the attempt to subordinate the American national will to the "global consensus." Rubio, speaker of the "25th Barbara K. Memorial Lecture". Olson" was at this conference.
Rubio said that some want Americans to accept the era of "great nations chasing great destinies" and that the United States should abandon its dreams against the consensus of international institutions.
Criticizing the concept of a "rules-based international order", he said that based on such a point of view, even the US president cannot freely decide on foreign policy, trade, immigration, or how to spend taxpayer money abroad, without facing the opposition of international institutions, non-governmental organizations and UN officials.
Rubio added: "We defeated the institution of Soviet communism, but we did not defeat the spirit of Marx. This spirit of Marx is still alive. According to him, this thinking has now continued in the form of theories which he says want to "subordinate the national will to the global consensus".
The US Secretary of State also said that the fundamental question of this era is whether Americans have the right to exist "as a distinct nation and people" and have a government that will protect their interests first and foremost.
Rubio went on to criticize those who describe America as a country built on "usurped land, slavery, genocide and oppression" and said that such a view wants to burden America and the West in a broader sense with guilt, and the result is "opening borders, abandoning laws, withdrawing from the world and rebuilding society" according to the critics' point of view.
