EDITOR—Joti Brar demolishes the carefully cultivated myth that bourgeois democracy and periodic elections can possibly improve the lot of the working class, or eventually hand over power to the actual producers instead of the (ever-fewer) billionaires.

Joti reviews the record of capitalism as far back as 1820 • Overproduction, the incurable illness of capitalism • Election time circus in the US • The looting of the Soviet Union could not solve global capitalism’s problems • Inexorable impoverishment of the vast majority of humanity under global capitalism. • Constant instability and war.

Most of us Americans are willingly fooled by our Government and ‘news’-media.
by eric zuesse12 minutes readERIC ZUESSE—The master-lie behind all of it this is that the U.S. Government and ‘news’-media are a ‘democracy’ instead of the aristocracy that they actually are. Because this lie enables the regime to ‘justify’ its overthrows or “regime-changees” as being good for the residents in the newly created American colony, because that country’s prior Government was supposedy a dictatorship ruled by an “autocrat” who had less of a concern for the welfare of the people there than the ‘democratic’ U.S. Government that subsequently took over control in that new ‘ally’ (U.S. colony) does.

Russia has never tried to dictate any narrative to me, unlike the West
by Scott Ritter21 minutes readSCOTT RITTER—In writing How the Chechen miracle kick-started the Russian ‘Path of Redemption’, Helping Crimea recover from decades of Ukrainian misrule is a tough but necessary challenge, We are witnessing the bittersweet birth of a new Russia, and Why did it take Russia so long to realize Donbass was worth fighting for?, I provided unique reporting that was unavailable anywhere else in the world – Western media outlets would never allow such reporting to be published on their pages or websites, and Russian news outlets had never seen such reporting from an independent Western perspective.
This is exactly what journalism is supposed to be – hard-hitting, probing analysis based upon first-hand observations derived from access to high-level sourcing.
I picked RT as the publisher of these articles because I wanted this reporting to be available not only to a global English-speaking audience, but also to a Russian audience.
