Nagle's latest centers nationalism as "anti-imperialist" + cites the "COSMOPOLITAN journalist class" shaking in their boots at the Hungarian nationalist Eden Tucker visited + Trump's "rebel nationalism" challenge to the "Open Society" (Soros/Jews/Liberalism) of the decaying West.
Nagle also blames cultural rot of once worthy empires, citing the teaching of "critical gender studies" art classes on Duchampn, + Lee Smith on the CIA giving viagra to warlords to rape boys, proving how out of touch elites are with _real_ Western values and white US workers.
The list of sources Nagle utilizes is 80% comically right wing. Malcom Kyeyune, The Spectator, Lee Smith (Tablet Mag), Phillip Cunliffe of Aufhebunga bunga writing for Spiked.
She cites two seemingly moderate scholars of nationalism but Andreas Wimmer promotes the idea that some states fail at "good" nationalism because of insufficiently developed governing capacity + the major failure of Western nationalism is how its PMC elite betrays white workers.

This guy Heartfield is an anti-masker Covid Denialist who's been demanding full capitalist reopening for almost a year, promotes ruling class development, Right Libertarianism, and Nigel Farage, but CRT is bad because it's an attack on the working class. Predictable. Absurd.
Anyone who's taught history knows curriculum/textbooks are not going to have your exact take on class analysis. Teachers supplement lessons with their own expertise. The post-left and Right hate the 1619 Project, but Marxists like Gerald Horne and Eric Foner generally like it.
Heartfield consistently promotes Thatcher's ownership scheme and capitalist market housing development as socialist. He's a Brexit xenophobe who pretends to be a defender of migrants. Just a sick fucker.

3 documentaries that add up to a damning picture of the Trump regime and the Right in the US.

1. The Brink:Steve Bannon's world tour organizing dictators and fascists into a coordinated global force. They failed electorally but the xenophobic program gained ground.
Q: Into the Storm: The three 8chan operators manipulate people to act on manufactured extreme Right conspiracies. They are presented as irony bro pranksters until you see the very real danger their tactics present on a large scale.
Totally Under Control: Trump sabotages the Covid response for political gain killing hundreds of thousands. Some of the insider interviews are extremely damning. Trump is unquestionably a mass murderer.

How to assimilate Marxism and make it serve reactionary, nationalist, bigoted, exclusionary, and anti-working class politics. A 9 part thread with pictures. Image
1. Dig up ideologies developed by shady ex-Leninists who’ve embraced Right-Libertarianism, nationalism, class collaboration, xenophobia, reformist capitalism, and use anti-”PC” rhetoric to base-build with reactionaries and far right parties, but pretend it’s Marxist. Image
2. Find convincing thought leaders to promote this ideology while hammering at the liberal left. Lump together cartoonish neoliberal left views with anarchists, libcoms, and all other socialists outside the group while bolstering far right politics as “working class” and normal. Image

Listening to Amber Frost interview Catherine Liu and not only am I LEARNING a lot about MatERialiSm, it's a SUPER FunnY show! They are the best!
soundcloud.com/chapo-trap-hou…
Ha ha! Amber praises Dr. Spock (child rearing author) for restoring traditionalist working class techniques lost to suburbanization without realizing Liu's book trashes him for coddling PMC kids who went on to be spoiled "fascists" as she calls the entire 68 student movement.
Now Amber is comparing a "PMC" viagra ad to a "working class" one and noting how cliched the working class one is with a "USA" logo and bare bones presentation. Like, doesn't that match these Nationalist Left type's fetishizing Norman Rockwellization of blue collar workers?
