IMPERIALISM: DECADENT AND DOOMED WITH JOTI BRAR # 24 - TRUMP WIN - SCHOLZ COLLAPSE - STARMER DEBACLE
Garland Nixon Streamed live on Nov 8, 2024 Joti tracks the reasons for the Dems' recent embarrassing defeat at the polls, and the UK Laborites' dismal performance. TOPICS: UK/US working class apathy and alienation from the political establishment and taking part in elections, a fact that worries the ruling elites as elections serve to legitimate their rule. • Trump's MAGA people may represent the last contingent of true believers in the US promise of an actual popular democracy, notes • Joti describes in detail how WOKISM (identity politics) is nothing but a shameless ruling class tactic to disarm the working class by introducing issues that serve to divide it, while presenting the state (in the hands of one or another wing of the plutocracy) as their saviours. Insofar as identity politics replaces the actual class struggle, in which economic factors play the preponderant part, it buries the possibilities for revolutionary social change. This is seen in issue after issue. Radical bourgeois feminists, for example, taught women in the 1980s that their "natural" enemy was men, not the ruling elites. Bourgeois feminism ended up subverting women's power. • Same with the "woke" anti-racist movement. Capitalism, in fact, needs racism; it is one of the ideologies fuelling and justifying colonialism and the ruthless expropriation of people around the globe, often using racist imperial soldiers who come from the exploiting country's working class. Irish people were at one time seen as Europeans later saw Africans, unworthy of equal treatment. These days even the pervasive Russophobia we see in the West is fuelled in part by racism, depicting Russians as "the other", a form of sub-human unworthy of controlling such vast riches. • Joti also points out that the appalling neglect and misleadership we witness in the collective West is not a bug but a feature. We live in the "finance capitalism" phase, she notes, wherein financiers—not the onetime powerful "captains of industry" that created the riches of the West—control society's destiny. These people, however, are not interested in attending to even the minimum requirements of society, only their class's wealth and political interest. That's why we see massive cuts in social welfare, ever fewer well-paying jobs, and no one cares about the rotting infrastructure and shrinkage of the public Commonwealth. Meanwhile, enormous sums are easily procured to pump up every foreign adventure that promises exorbitant riches and at least some relief from the stresses of capitalism's worsening overproduction crisis. • There's no possible security under capitalism, concludes Joti. Capitalism is a machine to create endless crises and instability—from wars and political turmoil to grave economic insecurity.
GARLAND NIXON BERNIE SANDERS, RUSSIA GATE, & JANUARY 6TH - DISSECTING A POLITICAL CATASTROPHE Streamed live 2 hours ago (Nov. 9, 2024) Garland Nixon teases out the deception tricks represented by Bernie Sanders, the faux populist social democrat "sheepdog" who, after seducing those thirsty for real social change, always ends up caving in to the Neoliberal establishment. Sanders is (pathetically) still up to the old shop-worn tricks, playing the usual "blame game".
Garland also dissects the many reasons for the implosion of the treacherous Democratic Party, deservedly known as the historical grave of progressive movements. .
People's journalism can't survive without your active support.
Because YouTube (Google) is a heavily (and capriciously) censored platform enforcing the Empire of Lies' official narrative, dissident, anti-imperialist voices like Garland Nixon's, Joti Brar's and Laith Marouf's (and others of equal merit) are constantly harassed via demonetization, shadowbanning and outright deletion. This forces such voices—all of us, actually—to seek alternative platforms that still respect the right of free speech, such as Rumble.com, Rofkin.com, etc.
