What’s most interesting about articles like this is that this is not some leftist alternative media publication or some fringe pro-Russia pundit, it’s a mainstream conservative (though they claim they are not neocons but “realists”) US imperialist think tank that has for decades been deeply embedded into the US foreign policy establishment, founded by Nixon and formerly chaired by war criminal Henry Kissinger.
It shows the clear cracks in the imperialist state that there is now this deepening divide between the current leadership of completely fanatical neocons like Blinken and Nuland who are growing increasingly detached from reality and the “old guard” establishment who still have some semblance of sense and are trying desperately but futilely to steer the ship of empire away from the abyss it is sailing into.
Because the “rules based order” is the opposite of international law. International law applies equally to all whereas the “rules” of the “rules based order” are made up and applied selectively as benefits the imperialist West. It is also never clear what these “rules” and “norms” are which the West loves to tout as opposed to clearly written down laws, and this allows them to suddenly “discover” new ones and do away with or ignore others that are inconvenient for them.
This meme I think is the perfect encapsulation of the liberal mentality. The election is treated as a moral choice in a context free and timeless vacuum. There is no understanding of the laws of motion of history, or the logic that drives the American government, neither of which can be affected by an election....
Yuuup. If the trolley represents capitalism and liberals want to let it murder one worker and conservatives three, why the fuck would we vote for either of them instead of derailing the trolley itself so no one has to die in the future? But no, screams the liberal, we need the trolley, the trolley brings me iphones.
I’ve heard many people say they’ll vote Putin till he’s gone and then vote KPRF
This makes a lot of sense to me and explains the temporary bleed off of support from KPRF to Putin especially for this presidential election. A lot of Russian communists are very patriotic and with a “rally around the flag” effect i can imagine them deciding to support the president in wartime even if they would otherwise have voted KPRF instead. This is not easy for most western communists to understand since we have a very different relationship to our own countries and leaders.
We always have to remember that it is Putin who most Russians see as having led the country out of the horrific situation they were in at the end of the 1990s, massively restoring the economy, standard of living, and the strength and international standing of Russia. They view him as having given them back their dignity. This is limited to Putin himself though and does not translate to other politicians in his party, so once he has left the scene we will see great opportunities for big changes, for good or for bad.
That is also why the West is so desperate to get Putin out because they hope that in the struggle that will inevitably follow him leaving power the way will be opened for the kind of changes they want to see (either bring Russia back to its knees and re-colonize it as in the 90s or “finish the job” and completely dismantle it). Communists must be aware that this is being prepared and themselves prepare, build up their strength and be ready to seize that opportunity to steer Russia once that time comes in the opposite direction instead, the direction of socialism.
But i have to stress here the importance of timely preparation. The West never rests and is always plotting and preparing the ground for their color revolution attempts years and years in advance spending millions and millions of dollars building up their subversion and propaganda networks. We communists must also never rest and never stop organizing, agitating, educating and building a mass working class movement, whether it is in Russia or wherever else we live.
I have no idea why I’ve never shared these! I attended a meeting last year, all the speakers were charismatic and knowledgeable and the Black-led ML group is targetted by the FBI (a sign of their effectiveness, to me)....
From what i’ve heard they’re one of the most radical anti-imperialist and decolonial groups in the US. As for them being in the crosshairs of the state apparatus, that’s how you can tell who is actually a threat to the system and who isn’t. If they weren’t dangerous, the FBI wouldn’t be targeting them. Which makes it all the more important for other leftist groups to stand with them and help them fight the state’s attempts at repression.
A little reminder of who this fascist CIA asset was: he regularly participated in neo-nazi marches, advocated to strip non-ethnic Russians of their Russian citizenship, and called muslim Chechens “cockroaches”.

Zionists know that they’re cheering for genocide, they just have to pretend otherwise for the western liberal media. Within their own circles they talk quite openly about it, i mean just read “Israeli” media or take a look at their social media posts.

Meanwhile Maoists and other ultras still keep making fun of the very idea of developing the productive forces. The only reason they still believe that such a strategy cannot bring a benefit to the people is because they themselves have never seen this happen in their own countries and cannot imagine what an enormous improvement this produces in the living standards of millions and millions of people.
The last time their own countries went through something like this they weren’t even born yet. For their countries “developing productive forces” now means outsourcing them to the global south. Ultras like to think of themselves as “the most communist communists” but in reality they too have yet to escape the mental prison of liberalism which constrains their thinking and the possibilities which they can imagine.
