Geopolitical Outlook

1. Cuba: "The Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Cuba strongly condemns and rejects the attempt to impose through a coup a puppet government in the service of the United States in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and expresses its unwavering solidarity with the Government of the constitutional president Nicolás Maduro Moros." 2. Syria: "The Syrian Arab Republic condemned in strongest terms going to extremes by the US and its blatant interference in the affairs of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, affirming full solidarity with the Venezuelan leadership and people in preserving the sovereignty of the country and foiling the hostile schemes of the US administration." 3. Nicaragua: " "The Great Homeland does not bend, it stands proud, with the Love of its Peoples, here no one surrenders! Viva Venezuela! Viva Chávez! Viva Nicolás! Forward, with Faith and Hope!" reads the statement." 4. Bolivia: "Our solidari...

Having successfully won the May 20, 2018 elections (and many election cycles prior) with the clearly popular vote, Nicolas Maduro was sworn into office on January 10, 2019. And yet, despite there being no evidence of rigging or electoral fraud -- especially when the ever-so cautious Bolivarian government always makes sure to invite a UN inspector to observe -- the U.S.-backed right-wing opposition continues to cry foul and react violently, resorting to acts terrorism against the Venezuelan population. This week, we see renewed calls for regime-change and a bloody coup from the United States and its allies. Even more outrageous: we see several Western political figures recognizing opposition leader Juan Guiado as the country's "interim president"! If the U.S. were to actually start militarily attacking Venezuela, their proxy forces will most likely be coming from Venezuela's long-time enemy, Colombia; and also Brazil, given that Bolsonaro is virulently anti-Venezuel...

Transgenders are officially banned from serving in the U.S. military. This is a good thing for the anti-imperialist cause because the less recruitment the U.S. military has, the better it is for the rest of the world, especially for the victims of imperialism. Having said that, the ban should also be extended to the following: women, black people, brown people, gays, disabled persons, heterosexuals, whites... or rather, everyone . Of course, not everyone is celebrating this small, tiny victory. Unsurprisingly, liberal 'social justice warrior' groups such as the organizers of the Women's March on Washington took to Twitter to vent about how " devastating " the news was: Nothing says peak identity politics or peak Brzezinski school of thought like placing more energy and value into the frivolousness of "equal representation". Obviously, that is to be expected from liberals. But, once again, the self-identified "radical" leftists in ...

The history of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is a long and bloody one. The CIA was formed in 1947 and continues to define U.S. foreign policy with the Pentagon as its subordinate and as the primary military wing. Colour revolutions, anti-Communism, drug cartels, destabilization, bloody coups, proxy forces, and regime-change -- this is the legacy of the CIA, in short. And just recently, the intelligence agency had just appointed an all-female leadership , which had several liberal media personalities such as the unabashed anti-Russia mouthpiece Rachel Maddow reacting very excitedly, declaring it a "feminist victory" -- which is expected since it is, after all, a victory for identity politics . Of course, this "social justice warrior" (sjw) -pandering is nothing new; in fact, the agency encourages a climate of Postmodernism and identity politics. To help justify U.S. wars of imperial aggression, the CIA needed to make them palatable to consumers of mass me...

What is identity politics? To summarize: Identity politics is the anti-scientific idea that "the personal is political." It overemphasizes individual personal experience and separates the root or systemic causes of societal problems from material conditions and the wider class dynamics and economic relations, as it reduces or limits them to psychological phenomena. The most prominent if not overstated subjects are cultural and gender issues. Often, identity politics is fueled by emotionalism, prioritizing self-empowerment rather than class struggle and organizing effectively. And we see several self-styled Western "progressives" indulging in their marginalization, seeing their small group numbers as indicators of how "special they are," while creating a straw man that "asserts that the straight white male is at the apex of the privilege pyramid, responsible for the oppression of all other groups. His original sin condemns him to everlasting ...
