I agree with most of what you said, but you have not answered the question. When you have a bunch of people who believe others should not be allowed to progress to any level close to US as oppose to placing the emphasis on America's progress to always stay a step ahead, you have people who believe in tyranny. BTW, you seem to have missed that struggle of systems or governments against one another has direct ramifications for the people who make up those systems. As such your middle paragraph does not hold.

"When you have a bunch of people who believe others should not be allowed to progress to any level close to US as oppose to placing the emphasis on America's progress to always stay a step ahead, you have people who believe in tyranny. No you don't. It is not tyrannical for economic systems to compete. Up to a point, as I stated … ”Where it would be used to oppress (the natural rights of) others to further purely economic advantage, it must be condemned. There may be plenty of people in the USA (just like there are in the rest of the world) who would support such oppression but I didn't get that from the policy statement you offered.
