  • Jolani’s policy is very much a yeehaw libertarian Bukele/Zelensky kind of thing. The main support base for color revolutions is the petit boug and professional class. So, no, seeing a few rallies in capitals, and your uncle getting excited is different from having a broad working-class base. Some of the Syrians celebrating getting more power were unknowingly receiving what was diverted from minority populations being blacked out.

    It appears that some people are more interested in winning shower arguments from months ago rather than reconciling with reality. Gambling with predictions about who lives and dies is too perverse for me. You’ll have to forgive my disgust and lack of enthusiasm.











  • So setting aside your epic warstories about people not being as right online as you, do you deny that there is a strong tendency among online left posters to be pro-Syria regime change, downplay the issues with Jolani, reverse the dynamic of Zionism to make the USA a helpless puppet, and paint Iran as an inactive deadbeat father of the resistance? Because I know exactly what they’re referring to already. It’s certainly not doing “Marxist analysis”, it’s reposting Al Jazeera, MEE, and other sources which are funded by US NGOs or Qatar. Sometimes with a quick ancient history lesson to remind everyone how smart we all are, if you’re lucky you get a cute analogy.

    Yes, these guys are just giving you the quick overview. The enemy is colonialism, which has transformed into the neocolonial financial system. This includes all the core countries like USA, Israel, Western Europe, Japan, Canada, South Korea, and Australia: together they control the world’s banks, international legal bodies, high-tech manufacturing, as well as the academic and journalistic training and distribution systems.

    So the problem is actually much deeper than a few bad sources. The most valuable fields of study have been twisted by capitalism or basically just destroyed. Just take a look at how they’ve been dealing with climate change. Just because dealing with negative externalities on a business or society level is unprofitable or political suicide, we’ve been treating it like it can’t be mitigated by constraints on manufacturing, and new solutions can’t be invented. The Guardian has been posting the same stupid crap about spraying sulfur into the atmosphere for decades, and until recently they pretended investing in green energy + vehicles + industry could never be made profitable.
