US Communists first posited that the USA was "exceptional" with respect to the "dictatorship of the proletariat" and "international workers' revolution". Stalin coined the term "American Exceptionalism" to warn US Communists about doctrinaire thinking that contradicted his own. Discussions then spread where, just like "Capitalism" it is discussed to either defend or explain according to philosophical views of "objective reality" in the political and economic conditions of the USA in contrast with wealthy European nations. Which is to say that none of these people today even know how to condemn or defend this extremely nebulous "American Exceptionalism" thing. The first thing to know is that the Communist Manifesto justifies its agenda because of "Capitalism" meaning "status quo property rights." The USA is a massive territory where private individuals possesses mineral rights for most of their privately held land. IOW, "Capitalists" of America had vast resources AND "workers" often became "capitalists" at some stage (hence the vast middle class). The entire "wage slave" class war with "Capitalists" (owners) made no actual sense to most Americans. Contrast that with Europe and most other places and you will see that there really isn't the same kind of middle class where vast numbers of people can get good starter wages and work their way up in skills (to get even higher wages) and also invest in land and the kinds of enterprises that they gradually build expertise in. This contradicts the story of European monarchies that have ossified social classes in the cities where people can see and imagine these dumb problems imagined by Marx and Jacobin leftovers. And it is the socialists in Europe and America that attack upward social mobility and have created yet another "class" that they don't bother describing. In Russia they were known as the Soviets. IOW, the "social justice" elitist rulers.
