Left anti-communism is what lets imperialist propaganda operate unchallenged

Thursday, 3 November 2022 — See You in 2020

Ukraine is the great test for U.S. imperialism’s ability to sway minds to its side. Two decades into a process of decline for Washington’s hegemony, catalyzed by the irrecoverable global blowback from the Afghanistan and Iraq invasions, the imperialists have staked their survival in the outcome of the Ukraine war. Not necessarily in whether Kiev wins—that was a lost cause from the start by any honest analysis—but in whether Washington’s most important allies stay loyal to it after Ukraine becomes fully spent as a tool for proxy warfare.

Friday, 4 November 2022 — Jonathan Cook

Israel is not suddenly a more racist state. It is simply growing more confident about admitting its racism to the world

Middle East Eye – 4 November 2022
