RAMIN MAZAHERI—A two-state solution has long-been denied by Israel – anyone paying attention knows that the injection of 700,000 settlers into the West Bank was done expressly to undermine the possibility of a two-state solution – but when they are faced with total defeat then they will finally acquiesce to sharing Palestine. Finally. It is only military parity which will ever expel any hardened colonists, and I have described the military parity which the anti-Israel alliance has achieved and which is seemingly impossible for Israel to beat even with its weakened Western allies. And colonists will have to be expelled – but this is not new.

RAMIN MAZAHERI—What an objective view reveals is this: Revolutionary France saw not just one but seven “Coalition Wars” to restore monarchy, privilege, feudalism, torture, inequality, racism and the oppression of an aristocratic elite.

America has always been a deeply reactionary country – its founding revolution was merely against foreign control and not in favor of a progressive reordering of society – and thus its politics has always been defined by hypocrisy, zero memory and even less understanding of this thing we share called human history. The Democrats’ Russophobia made Russia the target, but the Democratic Party’s truly autocratic and anti-democratic commitment to “forever war” is the root cause of their undeniable electoral defeat this week.

Call it Western Liberal Democracy or the American Way or neoliberalism: history shows that it has always failed, is failing and will only fail for the 99%.

How ‘Democracies’ Degenerate Into Minoritarian Right-Wing Governments (Aristocracies)
16 minutes readERIC ZUESSE—After the recent French Parliamentary elections, the current French President, Emmanuel Macron, who has often been ruling by decree, will do so even more than before. As the Iranian journalist in Paris, Ramin Mazaheri, recently said: “Elections at just 46% turnout are a hair’s breadth away from not having democratic credibility, but that must be added with [to] the constant use of the 49-3 executive decree and the certainty of a Brussels’ veto for any legislation they don’t like. It combines to modern autocracy – rule by an oligarchical elite.”
