THREAD. Let’s talk about something that the left should become more familiar with: “Campism.” This refers to a worldview which divides the globe up into competing “camps”: US/Western imperialism v. all opponents of US/West, the “anti-imperialist” camp.
We wanted to give some examples of how the politics of campism play out in problematic ways on the left, but let’s start w/ defining the concept. Here are links to a helpful article & panel video:

One of the most notorious “campist” outlets is the "Grayzone Project," which features a constellation of “independent journalists” that carry the water for the Syrian, Russian, Nicaraguan, & Chinese states under the guise of opposing US empire.

Right - this was part of much larger discussion, but it's worth unpacking this point for you all

1/
In essence there are two main flavours of 'craziness' that people often lump together (esp in Brexit), so it's important to separate them out, as they're very different

2/
First sort is proper 'madman' theory, as practised by Nixon in Vietnam and successive North Korean leaders

I touched briefly on caste and healthcare earlier but the problem extends far beyond simply access to medical services.
Vani Kant Borooah used data from the national sample survey (NSS) to study 6 different groups - adivasis (56% Hindu and 33% Christian); Dalits (93% Hindu); non-Muslim OBC; Muslim OBC; Muslim upper caste; and non-Muslim upper classes,- and found disparities in life expectancy.
Upper caste non Muslims on average live up to 17 years longer than other groups (Chart 1). Even when adjusted for income and socioeconomic factors there is still a 10 year difference between upper and lower caste groups (Chart 3). ST have the lowest average age at death-43 years.

BBC video report shows #Syria rebels bringing chaos, extremism, terror and death to previously peaceful #Aleppo.. bbc.co.uk/news/world-mid…
Four years of east Aleppo suffering, says @guardian

In other words, since arrival of US UK & @guardian backed rebels
Curiously, BBC doesn't ask what future for girls like Bana under Islamist rule. Or if life better before rebels came
