Michael Karadjis, If you cannot recognise a US proxy war when one is biting us right on our rear ends, then you have no reason calling yourself a Marxist.
My "Kindergarten Dialectics" in 2018 revealed the true nature of the so-called "Arab Spring" as a CIA-MI6 manufacture midwifed by Open Society Foundation, the National Endowment for Democracy and other US "democracy"-promoting NGOs - at a time when the practioners of "PhD Dialectics" were lauding said Arab Spring as the best thing since sliced bread. Do some research on Marxist prespectives on the Arab Spring prior to the original publication of my "The Dialectic and the Detective" in 2018. All and sundry hailed it as grassroots Arab revolutions. I was the sole voice saying "Non madames et monsieurs"! In what camp were you then??? My "Kindergarten Dialectics" saw what your "PhD Dialectics" missed or failed to see. Hip, hip, hooray for "Kindergarten Dialectics"! Re " three great Marxists: Scott Ritter, Jeffrey Sachs, John Mearsheimer", I do not have to disagree with people just because they are not Marxists or agree with them because they call themselves Marxists. At the start of my video essay, I cite a passage from Lukacs' History and Class Consciousness. I do not agree with everything Lukacs says in that book, but I agree with that passage - so I cited it. By the same token what those three gentlemen have said about the role of the US and the Western empire instigating the Russo-Ukrainian war, I agree with. My dialectical materialist exposition in that piece is based in no way on what they they have said - and it is disingenuous of you to imply that. Do you disagree with, for eg. Prof Sachs's position that Ukraine in Nato (with attendant military bases) would be equivalent to Chinese or Russian bases in Mexico? If you do, please enlighten us comrade! Those three gentlemen have done more to dismantle the mainstream media disinformation about the background to that conflict than many quibbling critics. I respect what those three gentlemen have done to fight mainstream media propaganda and "media violence". Ah, lest I forget, my "kindergarted dialectics" also enabled me to propound my theory of communicative violence, which posits that the role that the mainstream media play in bourgeois propagandising is tantamount to violence. Google " Enforcing Consent: The Theory of Communicative Violence and how it operates in the Media and Cultural Industries" and then write a treatise on "kindergarten dialectics". The dialectic is indeed "German" if anything, but Frenchmen, Africans and Englishmen have been known to speak the language fluently! Stop your "pot-shotting"! Mount a comprehensive critique of my work, citing passage and verse and providing your alternative theorising. What do you say? Pistols or swords? 😉 Comradely *Julian Lahai Samboma* *Writer and Filmmaker* *M: +44 (0) 7724 502132* eBeefs <https://www.ebeefs.com/> Books <https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?i=stripbooks&rh=p_27%3AJulian+Lahai+Samboma&s=relevancerank&text=Julian+Lahai+Samboma&ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
