Liberals understanding fascism challenge (impossible) en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Fascism

Fascism didn’t suddenly appear in 2014, either, it’s been there this whole time.

My agenda is (1) to save the lives & livelihoods of working class people and (2) anti-imperialism. My agenda is not to carry water for Ukraine’s neoliberal government, which has allowed Global North capitalists to neocolonize it to the detriment of its people.

You mean the Donbas where Ukraine was fighting Russia after they annexed Crimea?

The Donbas is not Crimea; they don’t even touch.

In 2014 the US facilitated a coup, installing a far-right comprador government, because the democratically elected government was insufficiently subservient to US interests. In response, Russia annexed Crimea, a region whose history and people were more aligned with Russia. There wasn’t much fighting involved because the people of Crimea largely welcomed this.

But getting back to the Donbas: how is bombing apartment complexes in one’s own country for nearly a decade “fighting Russia”? That was a neonazi ethnic cleansing project with the support of their own government and the CIA.

Idealist, cartoonish, black & white, good vs. evil thinking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_are_either_with_us%2C_or_against_us thinking.

Imperial core governments and the corporate media present to us a cartoonish, Marvel Cinematic Universe version of the world that serves the capitalist class’ interests, particularly their imperialist interests. Inventing Reality and Manufacturing Consent laid this out almost 40 years ago.

Ukraine=good=democracy, Russia=bad=authoritarian. Russia’s invasion was unprovoked because history began on Feb. 24, 2022. Russia is doing genocide (bullshit), never mind the previous decade of Ukraine-backed neonazis genociding the people of the Donbas; or that, for 30 years, people from Noam Chomsky to Jeffrey Sachs to Henry Kissinger warned against breaking our promise not to expand NATO eastward toward Russia. Russia is an oligarchy, never mind Ukraine’s oligarchic coup government that the US installed a decade ago. Ukraine is a democracy, never mind that it has suspended opposition parties and cancelled elections.

aggressive Russian or Chinese navy

Is this a joke? The US has over 750 overseas military bases around the world, and is building more to further encircle China. Meanwhile China has one anti-piracy base in Djibouti.

What a strange factoid to choose to highlight.

I wonder if this “war” hasn’t proportionately killed more children than any in history.

It would be a grave mistake to stop aid to Ukraine while they are still willing and able to fight.

While who is still willing to fight? The conscripted who are forced to fight or the neonazis who volunteered to fight?

Step back for a moment, and the suggested policy change is remarkable. One of the most distinguished living economists is rejecting what’s been one of the most fundamental principles of economics for more than 200 years: comparative advantage. If a country can manufacture goods at lower costs than you can, you shouldn’t raise tariff barriers. Instead, you should import the goods, and send back something in return where your industry is more efficient.

The US has less and less to offer. The neoliberal capitalists deindustrialized the country, and our production costs are burdened by their financialization of everything.
