I wouldn't be surprised if the imperialist lackeys started hurling their favourite anti-semitic slurs ("self-hating jew") against her at this stage, if they haven't already.

Like I have said before if one is voting for Democrats because of the perceived threat of potential fascism under Trump against them they are then admitting they believe they are immune from the current and future barbarism of the Democrats. For many they are not a "lesser evil"; the Democrats deserve Trump.

Thank you Bernie Sanders for turning me into a Marxist-Leninist.

Your perception of that apparent incongruence is correct; they are not brainwashed.

They purposely seek bigoted narratives and outcomes because they believe they will personally benefit from it. They say one team is "objectively" better than another; we have to question for whom they are better for. The Democratic (and likewise for the Republican) party are perceived to be better for classes that are privileged enough to receive the benefits of their preferred bourgois political party, and they see themselves part of those privileged classes.

Those who vote for Democrats saying they are worried about fascism enacted against them personally if the Republican party comes to power are thereby admitting that they feel they are sufficiently immune to the barbarism enacted by the Democrats currently, and believe they are exempt from the barbarism the Democrats will enact in the future.

What a bufoon; pretty much ensuring the destruction of the US (and maybe the world) if 'murica gets trigger happy with their nuclear arsenal

A lot of us here were liberals (both "left wing" and right wing) once.

Imperialist appropriation in the world economy: Drain from the global South through unequal exchange, 1990–2015 (60 min read)

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S095937802200005X

Rich countries rely on a large net appropriation of resources from the global South. Drain from the South is worth over $10 trillion per year, in Northern prices. The South’s losses outstrip their aid receipts by a factor of 30. Unequal exchange is a major driver of underdevelopment and global inequality. The impact of excess resource consumption in the North is offshored to the South.

"You cannot resist for very long a truth you discover for yourself." - NC

Americans—including this author—believe that the international security order the United States constructed in the aftermath of World War II and has been the guardian of in the decades since then has been a remarkable era in human history. This unprecedented “long peace” has provided stability that has enabled not only Americans but most of the other eight billion souls with whom we share this small planet to enjoy greater increases in income, health, and well-being than in any other era of recorded history.

Only a self-deluded parasitic culture could produce such a failure of a human being.

Fascism at the service of the American Empire.

It's almost as if the economic "science" for the justification of neoliberalism is ad-hoc.

Thank you for posting the translation.

At no point does he explain:

• how he will defend the "revolution"
• how further coups will be prevented
• how he is going to meaningfully improve democracy if he is concerned the poor only get a democratic voice every few years during election season
• how he will prevent the imperialist forces and the bourgoisie dictating economic policy

If he doesn't think one needs to read Marx or learn from Castro, Mao or Lenin then he giving the awful impression that he does not have a viable alternative. If one does not have an understanding of the status quo then how will one fight it? How will they understand lessons of the past of those who did fight it and was successful if they do not learn from them? Where is this new theory of successful political economic development that apparently supercedes Marx scientifically?

Critical support indeed.

Without understanding dialectical and historical materialism, without developing a socialist vanguard and without democratic centralism it feels like the seeds for capitulating towards fascism.

Thanks for sharing; glad to see bourgois fear in a socialist country.

So much cope and weasel words in a typical liberal article.

"The large number of rich Chinese heading elsewhere could add to the strain on the nation's fragile economy"

Fragile? Based on what?

Capital flight controls appear to be an alien concept to these kind of esteemed journalists (nevermind the labour theory of value).

I am also seeing a global theme with a lot of non-western bourgoisie there appears to be an internalised inferiority complex where the ideal is to be some sort of Honorary Aryan.

It's probably worthwhile reading some Frantz Fanon at this stage to soothe the soul.

It feels like at this stage if they could have then they already would have by now given the massive military infrastructure losses in northern palestine. They appear to be doing their best impression of a barking dog with no bite. Like a lot of western armies these day they appear to be better at killing civilians and ethnic cleansing as opposed to fighting other militaries.
