Hitchens was very critical of aspects of American foreign policy, such as American involvement in war crimes in Vietnam, Chile, and East Timor. Hitchens eventually stopped describing himself as a socialist, but he continued to admire (at least in principle based upon his columns) Marxism, referencing Marx's materialist conception of history.
