The Off Guardian website is dedicated to showing how rotten the Guardian is with a slant similar to John Wight’s piece on CounterPunch titled “The Demonization of Vladimir Putin”. The Off Guardian, CounterPunch, DissidentVoice, Salon, the Nation, Infowars, Donald Trump, Marine Le Pen, Moon of Alabama, Global Research and a host of other websites basically function as sounding boards for RT.com. Are they getting paid for their services? I would assume not since there is no question as to the ideological zeal that binds these seemingly disparate voices together. For them, Vladimir Putin is a figure to be revered for standing up for traditional values that when espoused by the Christian right in the USA would fill them with outrage. full: http://louisproyect.org/2016/02/01/the-social-conservatism-of-the-putinite-left/ _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
[Marxism] Imperialism in the Twenty-First Century/new book by John Smith

It is the first Baran-Sweezy Memorial Prize winner. I think that this is a seminal work in Marxist political economy and a tour de force of radical scholarship. It blows apart every economic theory that argues that there is no such thing as imperialism or that imperialism is a thing of the past. A must read. http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=36ce609ae68971b4f060ad9c7=3a26966d4d=7c9269ff30 _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
