I think about half the anglophony 'left' covid rangers have returned to their prior positioning against US Empire policy this next stage. But as rights. They're performing IR Wonkery, dutifully echoing generals &
ostentatiously, wonkily, contemptuous of Novorossiya, and impatient with anything but this parody of Kissingerian Realism a discourse designed to scoff at and allow extermination of these reds without yachts to seize.
MEANWHILE in the larouchie redbouts they are working on the propaganda for the promised ruthless decommunization of the breakaways, the culmination of rulings class policy to date 'gloves off.' THE MANTRA: _The Left is the Real Enemy._ Nothing _necessarily_ objectionable about
right politics or right projects, about Nazis in Ukraine or Putin. It's The LEFT that is The Arm of Capital. And now comes decoy storytelling that surprised (impressed, enraged) even me. They've got it like this: the commies burnt alive by Nazis in Odessa, shelled daily in
Donetsk, the dead leaders like Motorola and Givi, are the troublesome '"lefts" in quotations' with an infantile disprder, the reckless levellers, the petty bourgeois spoilers and the impatient thoughtless egoist sparts, vis à vis Putin who is treated as the reincarnation of
Stalin. In the DisOrient, this is a chewable topos bonbon. Because there is no right vs left -- these are, in pomo baby talk, the kind of 'social constructs' that _aren't_ constructed socially but actually insinuated into innocent gentile minds by the Eternal Schwab as ruse.
I'm going to go through this as a proper prosecutory critique in proper form now. Zizekism Delenda Est. So please check back for the substack.

Depopulation has been a class _ interpower war tactic in the repertoire of overlords since the dawn of history.
In the middle ages its use is at a low ebb.
But it becomes a hugely important class war programme in the period of transition to capitalism: notably:
in the early modern period
european enclosures: depopulation of land to consolidate title-capital/make room for sheep
depopulation of the resulting overpopulated cities with insurrectionary proles to
settle lands, which
are subject to very agressive exterminist depopulation
these population strategies create the capitalist empires. the most actively deployed population management is the most successful, British empire. Goes on to do a lot of this. Ireland. India.
Spain's backwardness in depopulation tactics is a liability
This doesn't stop in the
Max Blumenthal partnered with Cory Morningstar to declare War on the Left :
"The Left is the Enemy. The Arm of Capital._ -- Cory Morningstar rokfin.com/stream/14787
Here's how the built the foundation for this coming out:
Ok from the declaration of war on the left from Bromenthal and Morningstar, this is CLASSIC (and incessant) Blumenthal:
MB asks CM to explain the state of emergency declared in Canada. She can't explain it, no politics, but she rattles off some (conveniently terroristic) acts
So after this thread and others discussing the apology for the Contras and all this other appalling shit, I got a dm from Morningstar saying hey what's with you "you're supposed to be my comrade." That's a Larouchie tell right there: elective proximity to her in my prior output
is brought forward as a commitment to bind me to validate, respect or collaborate in any evil lie, Nazi provocation or deception she produces. Larouchies create these chains of log rolling, that look just like professional opportunism, but then demand binding pseudo-solidarities
so ultimately we are all bound to treat Whitney Webb and Max Blumenthal as comrades and civilly not notice what they oh so obviously are up to.
"You're supposed to be my comrade," instead of a defense of the content that has been challenged. Same Sorkinist appeals for loyalty
I want to state this as clearly as possible:
Morningstar and that Larouchoid Duginoid formerly fake "left" now third position (they rebranded) network are purveying this slogan The Left Is The Real Enemy (and notice they're reunifying with their covid ranger splitters to do
this) as a follow up to their gnostic insanity Marx Is The Geist Of Satanic Modernity, as _preparation_ for the "decommunization" promised by Putin in Novorossiya. They're creating these slogans and narratemes to position Putin as a revenant Stalin menaced by commies defamed
as "lefts" "ultra Lefts" "Levellers". They're working on Epic Mythological Time, this de-historicization and de-temporalization so they can say look Stalin himself condemned these people in Donetsk! As they say look Adam Smith, Poliecon himself, said this about Karl Marx.
What a pair of fascist creeps. It's advertised as about the convoy but actually no mention of it. Nothing, except Cory being there and what was worn. No politics. ZERO. Truckers nice right
Right wingers. Not rich well dressed leftists. She is 100% zizek. No discussion of thr convoy its achievements the problems the prospects, nothing. Just liek crabapple placing herself at pws. And the rest of the time just repeating key Goebbels incantations: leftism is a fraud,
The Left are rich, the Left are a mask of capital, the Left is the real enemy: it's right in time for Azov Redemption. Amazing. Max Blumrnthal is now thr King of the Larpuchies. Of course he debuted as the Larouchie changeling for Norman Finkelstein. "Israel distorts benevolent
Costas Lapavistas probably does know -- even from the sponsors directly -- that the name of the new game is real assets, use values not abstract claims, and here he is putting an extract of the truth into the bullshit ball, to make it attractive:
"No crisis of financialised capitalism has been greater than the massive disturbance of 2007–9. That tremendous shock to the core of the world economy
has continued to reverberate up to the present, while accumulation has not found even a semblance of vigour...
...Finance still rules the roost, but has lost
much of the arrogant confidence of the 2000s. Similarly, economic policy still
aims at largely protecting the interests of financiers and lenders, but entire economies flounder between stagnation and low growth, real incomes ...
