America's #FoundingMistake was to equate state & nation.
The founders knew that it would be difficult enough forming a nation from different European peoples of the same race, & impossible to include Native & Black Americans, which is why they restricted citizenship to Whites.

From an Orwellian perspective, it was not a mistake, but very much intended. It is by posing as our nation that #BigBrother tricks us into identifying with, i.e. loving, him. Big Brother IS the state, & not just under fascism or communism, as portrayed by Orwell in 1984. 
In medieval Europe, #BigBro divided himself between feudal state & Church. Britain, from which America won its independence, had always been an Orwellian construct, a mercenary #PatronState deceitfully posing as a nation, in order to legitimise itself & its ruling elites.
Instead of becoming a genuine nation, as its founders had hoped it would, America just became a bigger, more powerful, mercenary patron state than Great Britain.
This is a very difficult & painful truth to recognise & face up to, but our very survival depends on us doing so.

Why is this not recognised by the academics we look to as authorities in understanding society & the state?
Academics are privileged clients and employees of the state. That's why.
