The US is not a colony. The US is simply the militaristic (Fascist) arm of Capital, making the shift from the pacifist stage (Social Democrat) after the new deal era. Much of Europe is still in the Pacifying era, though this seemingly is ending itself with their rising focus on military/war, Immigration, and weakening of their social programs.
The average Americans live under terrible conditions specifically due to the higher degree of developed capital leading to a higher degree of monopolization of that capital. (As evidenced by so many of the richest people being Americans).
We don’t need to try an place everything under a colonialist framing.
