UK and US imperialist leftists unite 🥴
Not as offensive as Jones chummily interviewing war criminal Alastair Campbell or the NED asset Joshua Wong, but this is still very bad (and telling).
I clicked to a random point in the interview and what are they doing in it? Attacking and slandering anti-imperialists of course.
I’m blocked by him but have been told Jones is calling me a “liar by omission”. What was amiss in this article I wonder? He always has an excuse.
Among countless other things, imagine the gall required to do this, and then pontificate on imperialism as though you oppose it with a straight face:
If your position on Syria is more blood thirsty and interventionist than Jacob Rees Mogg, I think it’s safe to say you don’t oppose imperialism.

It is now well documented that throughout the Cold War, the CIA & allied agencies in other countries thoroughly infiltrated & funded the Left on a huge scale in order to push it away from communism and anti-imperialism. Anyone who thinks that effort has ever stopped is deluded.
On the contrary, it is evident that it is ongoing and the internet/social media has merely provided it with another rich terrain to infiltrate and influence.
Eg:

The Western media’s ability to invent reality & talk over millions of people in any country the West wants to destroy is scary. Huge demonstrations that don’t fit the narrative are ignored, while comparatively tiny ones are magnified & handpicked voices portrayed as illustrative.
Even if pro-government demos are reported on, which is rare, they are then delegitimised by framing the participants as “hardcore loyalists” or implying they have been coerced into attending - both techniques implying that such manifestations of support can & should be dismissed.
And of course, these techniques are always accompanied by a campaign that attacks and slanders anyone outside of the country targeted if they offer their support to it and reject the imperialist narrative.

Contrary to this cheap propaganda from Amnesty, the Cuban government is in virtually constant dialogue with its population regarding its policies and actually incorporates its feedback and criticism into policy making in a way literally unimaginable in Western “democracies”.
So the idea it “does not listen” is just a lie. This is one of the key functions of Amnesty and HRW, to demonise and isolate official enemy states of the US through the rubric of ‘human rights’ and to lend imperialist propaganda campaigns ‘progressive’ credibility.
It’s function is very clear. For instance re. Venezuela:

The only ‘freedom’ the US Government and it’s reactionary, gusano supporters want for the people of Cuba is the freedom to starve.
Anyone in the West who makes public criticisms of the Cuban Government or disingenuously calls for “nuance” at this very moment – when there is a clearly a dangerous intensification in US subversion against it – is doing the work of imperialists.
People with grass for brains like this:

I wrote this for @Ebb_Magazine on the legal & moral right of the Palestinians to carry out armed struggle in pursuit of their liberation & how support for that right should be an uncontroversial, commonplace position on the Western left. ebb-magazine.com/essays/the-pal…
The zero follower/following Zionist bots are now appearing.
A Spanish translation of my article:

Why is this framed like Bennett is an unknown entity and not the certified fascist and murderer of Palestinians everyone already knows that he is. All such statements do is perpetuate the myth of a reformable Israel.
Even if it wasn't clear what Bennett's politics were, propagating the idea that a single politician, even if prime minister, could change the course & fundamental nature of Israel (violent, expansionist and racist) is in itself a dishonest, ahistorical & soft Zionist position.
It is baffling to me that after everything, and no longer under the immense pressure of being leader, Corbyn still decides to make such misleading and milquetoast statements like this.
