So China can just whistle past the graveyard and not act?
The Allies are going to pull the Axis into war, Peter.
Just like they pulled the Axis into war in ’39.
As Trubind notes above: countries are making their beds. Egypt will not support the Axis, for example.
Do you think China can just not act?
China helped to create this globalist hegemonic behemoth that we all rail against. If you can’t understand that, then you aren’t worth it buddy.
What are they going to do about it?

But you miss a key facet of the situation. Context. China didn’t “help” as in actively create the globalist behemoth. China compartmentalized their economy and allowed a capitalist-serving group to take advantage of, exploit even, western demand (as in supply and demand) for immense profit. That doesn’t mean that the Party didn’t also take steps to insulate the majority, the plebes, the peons, from the more nasty effects and consequences of such a “global” economic/political system. They have state provided healthcare, education, infrastructure, utilities, community engagment, etc. IOW, even if market conditions change, the Chinese government can still serve its people. Not so in the US minus some kind of political grenade (present interpretation, likely past-accurate) such as a NEW New Deal.
There is probably some truth to the notion that China willingly allowed the US to outsource/offshore all of our main non-industrial-scale (i.e. “consumer” level) manufacturing to them. All the stuff about the treasury securities and all that aside. but I think you fall victim to this zero sum, adversarial, winner-loser thinking about something “the Chinese” don’t view that way at all.
Chinese dynasties and empires pre-date Western colonialism, neo-liberalism and rot by nearly millennia. Unfortunately I’m not well read enough to be able to go into specifics on that, but I am an “empath” and I readily pick up on, and understand to the degree I’m capable, the difference in how other civilizations think, function, and view the future.
China is not and has not been building an offensive military apparatus in the traditional western sense and they are not a force to be “contained” in that regard. And they sure as hell aren’t building an offensive system of world domination and repackaging/rebranding it as “defense” like us gringos/yankees/zionists have patented.
TL/DR: China will be fine. Not only does no Western nation or “defensive” alliance have what it takes to subjugate them again in the next several hundred years, even the EU, US, Canada, Five Eyes, etc. couldn’t muster the means to do it. Hence the constant fear mongering to the captive populations in the Imperium and threatening military encirclement.

I would like to think you are right. That by some Chinese miracle, they will be able to remain inactive during this run-up and then cool-down.
Regardless of how China is able to comport themselves, the west has a way to goad. Think of them as the ultimate trolls.
And Putin was only able to resist them so much before Russian blood had to be offered.

China in itself may continue to exist – yet its history is far from one covered in glory. Indeed it’s never had any real kind of political sphere of influence over the world. They maintain a position of sitting and counting their coins and have at several points in their history been enslaved by more alert enemies.

I emphatically agree.
Deconstruction, if there is a methodology as such, does not seek nihilistic elimination of these concepts. It wants to give them back an originary meaning, to experience them first hand.
Somewhere down the line, for instance, American leftists abandoned labor for identity politics and climate-interest. And they certainly have blinders on for looking the other way when China builds coal plants and is swimming in consumer and techno-trash. Where is the left actively trying to reach blue-collar workers in the U.S. for instance? Hint: they are not and actively deplore them. And they see no problem with importing multicultural labor to compete underhandedly with native labor.
What should a leftist in the U.S. do then? It should seek to understand how and why the U.S. lost its industry and how this has correlated to the burgeoning disparity of wealth here.

Posted by: NemesisCalling | Aug 4 2024 4:03 utc | 197

For the time-deprived, here’s the condensed version: We’ve all witnessed how the supposedly principled, neutral chants of “neither Washington nor Moscow” ended. Are you currently residing in China with the ability to affect the political discourse in China? If not, why the hell is your rhetoric directed against China, when China is at best/worst a distant secondary contradiction, and the primary contradiction is your own ruling class that allows for Chinese goods to be imported? Why not ask your “elected” representatives to ban Chinese goods? Why point the blame at China for exporting the goods? I mean, your elites have already banned EVs, Huawei telecommunications equipment, etc., so it ain’t hard to ban more stuff, right? Just say it’s a national security issue. This is like the US blaming China’s export of meth precursor chemicals for the meth epidemic in the US, instead of looking at the lax laws and enforcement in the US. Look, let’s be honest here. You’re a fascist. It’s okay if you want to steal the leftist/socialist branding now that the socialist bloc is on the rise. After all, the Nazis called themselves National Socialists despite their policies being fascist in nature. And the first targets of Nazis? Not the Jews, but the communists. I get why you loathe China with a passion. Your sympathy for the plight of Russia is only because you see a White-passing face staring back at you, and you can empathize with that.
My comment above also applies to commentators calling for the destruction of Turkey first before calling for the West’s collapse. China knows damn well that Turkey has a hand in the East Turkestan movement that caused severe unrest in China’s Xinjiang province. China knows Erdogan is a two-faced dealer with dreams of Greater Turkey much like Greater Israel. But right now, Turkey is not the primary contradiction, and China knows that too.
China moves in silence by not hyping up its accomplishments, but what it does reverberates across the world for many years to come. To use an American phrasing somewhat inappropriately, China talks softly and carries a big stick. China does little, short five-year plans that it publishes for everyone to read and understand what to expect from it (and China rarely deviates from them), but China also plans in the scale of centuries.
Time and time again so-called Western leftists comfortably ensconced in their Global South-supported life rail against China, but the material fact is that those who are on the frontlines and have to face death and uncertainty consistently place their trust in China.
Take the Yemenis granting free passage to Russian and Chinese ships for example. If China’s supposed material support to Israel and the US is so great, why not wreck Chinese ships too? They suffer from missile barrages from the Zionists regardless of whether they spare the Chinese or not, so there’s nothing to lose by being principled and hurting Chinese trade too. So, why the exception for China? Incidentally, many have tried to turn Chinese netizens’ sentiments against the “slipper army” by claiming that the Yemenis target Chinese vessels too until those vessels have been revealed to be registered by Western firms.
Let us now look at the case of the Palestinians. China has been constantly accused in the bar as a facilitator of their genocide due to China’s trade ties with Israel. Then, out of nowhere, 14 Palestinian organizations came out to declare that they have reached an understanding to unite against Zionists just last month in Beijing. Naturally, barflies began pooh-poohing it as an ineffectual declaration like other similar declarations before it. Fine – let’s assume that the declaration is useless. But, we need to ask: why make that declaration in Beijing of all places? Why are they not meeting in Russia or Iran, these supposedly far more principled anti-imperialist nations? Are you gonna say that every single one of the Palestinian organizations are compradors, that they have sold out to the evil China-US duopoly?
And Syria? Their president’s visit to China, as recent as 2023, was done with an Air China plane. That is how much Assad trusts Chinese planes to not have unexplained malfunctions and serendipitous encounters with AA missiles.
Saudi and Iran rapprochement? China again.
Off-topic side note: There have been big moves in China that most barflies would not be privy to thanks the language barrier. And I am grateful for that language barrier because it limits the damage that White supremacist ideas, whether liberal or conservative, can do to Chinese society. Wen Tiejun ring a bell? Rural revitalization? Nope? Good. I aim to keep it that way. But here’s a little something – a minor move that has received Western press coverage that might have missed most barflies’ attention: Hu Xijin, “the former editor-in-chief of China’s state-backed Global Times, has been banned from posting on social media after he wrote controversial comments about the world’s no. 2 economy”, as Bloomberg described it. Some of you may have seen him on Western social media and misunderstand him as a strident Chinese nationalist. The actual majority of Chinese people? They loathe him. The journalist barely concealed the fact that he served capitalist interests and is selling out China while working at Global Times, and he became truly unhinged in retirement. But he finally crossed the line by directly contradicting the constitution of the Chinese state by misleadingly claiming that full spectrum privatization has officially been endorsed in the latest 3rd Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, when the constitution clearly states that public ownership is a central pillar of the Chinese economy.

That’s some great news, but what’s their line on ‘Ukraine’? I hope they’re not another group of ‘Marxists’ who believe that a former worker’s state rescued from social death by a conservative-minded ex-KGB officer to become a semi-peripheral state where the Communist Party is the second largest in parliament, is engaged in ‘imperialism’ when fighting off the NATO-backed epigones of Reinhardt Gehlen!
Sorry for the OT, but that kind of nonsense really ticks me off, especially when it comes from parties like the French PCF and Greek KKE that have such proud histories of struggle against fascism and imperialism. Let’s hope the new ACP can reconnect to that history that so many in the Western Left have forgotten.

US not wanting large war in the middle east Until it can secure Venezuelan oil… ifI’m right on that, then its a good time for the axis of resistance to strike. The Iran Russia partnership, and what Putin said about arming/assisting others fighting the US. There appears to be a heavy airlift going on Russia to Iran. Russian EW systems already set up, photographed in Iran….
If a longer running conflict occurs, the price of oil is likely to skyrocket. China as the largest importer would be hardest hit …. unless China has taken measures to avoid or mitigate oil shortage/high prices which it may well have done.

By dismissing the left/right political gradient out of hand you help do the work of those who have sullied it to the point of meaninglessness and inherent deception.
A description of the real thing could be belief in the equitable common ownership of natural monopolies and the means of production vs those that seek the privatisation of these keystones assets for the purpose of private capital accrual and rent extraction.
The correct and living meanings of these vital descriptive terms need to be re-established, not eliminated. Without them how do we socially communicate those critical meanings?
Posted by: Greg | Aug 4 2024 5:29 utc | 219
No. The problem is that the “Left vs Right” question is silly, as the terms are so vague they can’t even be practically used. “A description of the real thing could be”… Yes. Could be.
Note how you defend the usage of the terms without even once mentioning a class standpoint. You claim we need to re-establish the terms without describing them. I could say, “to be a leftist is to support the working class, and to be a rightist is to support the parasites.” That’d be nice if I was able to do that.

The reason Iran’s posture has dramatically changed from “Strategic Patience” to now being willing to risk war with both Israel & the US is…RUSSIA
It was last year Putin announced that henceforth Russia would be assisting friendly nations who are being threatened by the [U.S.] hegemon (N. Korea, Iran) with weapons & military technology
Since then, Russia has undoubtedly done all it can to provide Iran with assistance in strengthening their air defense grid & improving the effectiveness of missile attacks on heavily defended targets & providing satellite data in real time (as well as Russia’s equivalent of GPS)
Why did Putin do this? Because the United States made it clear, through the Ukraine War, that it is an existential threat to Russia with its CIA & brainless political class
Last year was when Putin described Russia’s new determination to “oppose” the imperial machinations of the US everywhere around the globe, which was then described as “lateral escalation”
Thanks to the insane & diabolical efforts of the CIA, Russia has now embraced the role of implacable foe of the elites of the United States. Russia has just recently said it will help Iran to defend itself from an attack by the United States
At the same time, Russia’s attitude toward Israel has gone ice cold; I dare say Moscow now views Israel as just as much an existential threat to Russia as the United States is. The Genocide has revealed so much
I think the Russia Card has-more than anything else-encouraged Iran to now boldly defend itself with the advanced capacities it has developed. They now have the “eyes” of Russian satellites & an overall picture of the battlefield they once lacked
Neither Iran nor Russia wants to fight an all-out war with the US, but they’re not afraid of it. They have plenty of reason to think the US just might back down at a certain point (Biden telling Bibi to not strike back)
Finally, I think there are zero reasons to doubt that Moscow is well aware of Israel’s nukes & likely has a plan to “take them out” if it looks like Israel may be losing badly enough to implement their Sampson Option
If Russia knows where they are (something the US & Russia have always made a high priority of their intel operations) they have the means (hypersonic missiles & nuclear-tipped torpedoes for Israel’s subs) to take them out
Why & when would they do so? Only when/if it looks like Israel-even with America’s help-will not be able to stop Iran from destroying their military bases on the ground
If things have developed to that point, where all-out war is destroying Israel’s Air Force, I don’t think Russia would hesitate to preemptively take out Israel’s nukes
If they miss a couple & the IDF delivers them to targets, it will be a horrific tragedy, but at least the preemptive strike will have greatly diminished the Final Evil that Zionist Israel plans for those who are Not Chosen…

Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) and the English Defence League (English & Jewish Defence League) are supposedly Israeli state assets in UK, with the purpose of violently countering pro-Palestine rallies in Britain, according to this analyst.

What’s causing the Islamophobic riots across the UK, and why now?
1. The riots have been instigated by the Zionist asset Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (‘Tommy Robinson’), who has been working for the State of Israel since 2009 as part of the so-called ‘counterjihad’ Islamophobia movement established by that state. When his organisation, the English Defence League, was incorporated in 2011, two years after its inception, it was named the English & Jewish Defence League. The Jewish Defence League, a Zionist terrorist organisation, has been a key part of violent Islamophobic street thuggery in the UK over the past decade.
2. Yaxley-Lennon is one of the most high-profile actors in the State of Israel’s Online Influencers Programme in response to Operation Al-Aqsa Storm. He and others, like Oli London, Noa Tishby, Hen Mazzig, Arsen Ostrovsky and Emily Schrader (and many others) are paid to distribute Zionist propaganda, of which pushing back against pro-Palestine protests and sowing Islamophobia are two important and interlinked aims.
3. The recent Islamophobic riots in the UK should be seen as the latest phase of the State of Israel’s war on British Muslims, who it sees as originating the protest movement in the UK. These riots are designed to punish Muslims for their anti-Zionist sentiment after various other methods to suppress opposition to Zionism by the State of Israel have been thwarted. The State of Israel’s attempts to use its assets and operatives in the British political and media class — such as Suella Braverman and Michael Gove — to thwart pro-Palestinian protests have failed. Zionist counter-protests have failed to mobilise significant numbers. Sporadic Zionist thuggery and the use of other assets — such as Iranian secularist extremists — have also failed to intimidate Muslims. So now the State of Israel is weaponising its cannon fodder on the white nationalist far-right, who have greater numbers than either Zionist street thugs or Iranian monarchists and secularist extremists.
4. Finally, there are also questions about which actor authored the idea that Muslims were responsible for the ostensible triggers for these events. MI6 and its assets (eg Paul Mason) are desperately trying to pretend this was a Russian disinfo op. But the original stories did not come from Russia. Where did they come from?

There are only two ways the collective waste will stop sending weapons to fascists to commit crimes against humanity. One is a resounding defeat of the western powers navies.

The only other way is if we rise up and overthrow the fascist oligarchy that rules the collective waste and execute both the oligarchs and the compradors that enable them.
A good beating of the 5th fleet and destruction of the zionist entities airpower by Hezbollah missiles would get them to give up on this project however.

Interesting examination of current ME events.
Highlights:
Suggests that:
1) CIG behind BRICS “resettlement” of ME (East Asia), as new hub of commerce, the new EU, as geography and trade will make ME center of future investment. That EU is finished and will relegated to 2nd/3rd world status.
2) “Zionism” must end, as it is “unprofitable”.
3) Wagner or Wagner affiliated group ram, is running Hamas resistance in Gaza, doubts and he Hamas he’s known for 20 years had training/capability for initial Oct 7 military operation, let alone 10 months of precision targeting & assassinations.
4) Saudi Arabia is ME kingpin in arranging finalization of new ME.
5) PLO under Saudi control will have Palestinian State.
6) Fulfilling both Saudi 2030 Vision & former 2002(?) Arab Initiative.
7) Removal/disintegration of all resistance groups, as desired stabilizing ME is needed for “business”.
8) Trump, Jared Kushner et el on board with CIG ME remaking.
9) Will begin (possibly) as forced 2-State solution, but see eventually becomes 1 State.
10) Sees West out completely, politically & military. But of course, the likes of Black Rock, Vanguard et el will be there.
11) That ME will fall under BRICS financial system as West collapses & no one trust the West ect (Hence Saudi warning regarding theft of Russian assets)
He touches upon Iran, Lebanon & Syria, under this “normalization” sort of ME collaboration under BRICS .
I don’t agree with his assessment of Iran’s position and even though the monied interest may fall into Saudi realm, I see China & Russia desiring a power balance, I don’t see them having a desire for a singular power (Saudi) .
In any case, he sees all of this as CIG move. Planned and orchestrated.
Interesting listen.
Still stewing on concept, and agree timing of “Freeing Palestine” finally is interesting.

They left out the plastic sheeting & duck tape

Then why have they sent a ginormous aircraft carrier into the region ?

Possibly they’re stupid enough to think it will intimidate Iran into backing down.

Nah, been here for a while.
Out of curiosity I fed about 3,000 pages of this blog into a version of ChatGPT. The idea was to see what was events were for a lack of a better word “forerun” or “predicted” and with what accuracy when ‘correlated’ with events are reported in the MSN. Also to see who had better insight than others.

Unlikely, too many tokens unless used as training data.
Care to explain? As an added bonus you can give the analysis on me.

If a longer running conflict occurs, the price of oil is likely to skyrocket. China as the largest importer would be hardest hit …. unless China has taken measures to avoid or mitigate oil shortage/high prices which it may well have done.

I could be mistaken, but iirc they have very long term contracts with Russia for oil. And Russia, ad we know, makes good on contracts.

The right wing knuckle heads we see rioting on the streets in the UK now, are the same as could be seen in Ukraine for the years before Russias SMO.
Not interested in politics, a love of violence football ectra. always picking a fight with those they think are weaker.
In ukraine they were cynicaly harnessed by the west to fight Russia funded and armed.
This same group/type in UK are freashly minted off the nazi production line…..
Ulta national, hating Arabs and refugees,
Hating Russia couse the red top paper and tele told them too.
This is extremily relevent to this thread.
These are the grunts who now will willingly jump in a trench and die like sheep to the sloughter. In Ukraine and ME.
But we have a Left wing govenment with a right wing leader.
A fissue so which side of the party will gain ?
America will be looking for support from the UK for back up right now in the ME.
Will they get it ? Whats going on between US and UK. Is America fighting alone.
Is that what Russia ect see’s ?

I understand the token issue. I have had no problem yet. I have my own set of vector databases that I can shuttle in and out, which I hope will take care of that issue as I have a couple of different projects underway.

A number of articles when ISIS was the media fad and fashion. US, UK, Australia and no doubt all anglo militarizes setting up social media units to “fight ISIS on line/social media”.
Much projection of Russian troll factories also where a big part in our propaganda media.
Your diligence is to be commended. An honest days work for an honest days pay sort of thing.
Scum like you are quite likely to try and jump ship when your mighty Titanic goes down. With luck, many of the rats will be fended off and go down with their empirical ship.

So you used a hasbara-infiltrated bot to analyze politics. Neat. I use it for G-Code debugging and finding the sources of quotes. But hey, whatever works for you.

S.P. Korolev@232 responds to Fred@225 questioning the new American Communist Party’s position on Ukraine. One leader in the new party wrote this: https://carlosgarrido.substack.com/p/multipolarity-and-america
