…Governments do not launch wars simply because they confront domestic unrest. The fundamental causes of imperialist war lie in the contradictions of the capitalist world economy. But for ruling classes confronting mounting opposition, militarism provides a framework to demand “national unity,” impose immense sacrifices and strengthen the coercive powers of the state…

I can’t pretend I’m not enjoying this. No, really, I’ll be totally honest with y’all.

What needs to happen is finally happening in France and is spreading all across Europe. I’m getting to see it happen in near-real time, and it’s exhilarating. The working class is catching fire and rising up, and the ruling class is shitting bricks.

It’s the only way to civil and economic justice, and the only way to prevent world war. It won’t be done by “elections” and politicians, it won’t be done through “democracy”.

We have to do it.

They’re burnin’ down the house in France and, meanwhile, here in Shithole USA, people at the “No Kings” events were being told not to bring up Iran and Palestine while the speakers cheer for NATO and the Nazi thugs in Ukraine. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I can see who the real “surrender monkeys” are.

I can only hope.

To think that all the arduous years I spent assiduously avoiding dropping a “fallen and can’t get up” gag could be undone by this single column at The Cradle last week. If Amerika’s imperial batshittery in Ukraine hasn’t totally wrecked our rep with the rest of the Earth, than our enabling Israeli butchery in Palestine pretty much ripped our mask the rest of the way off.

We’ve fallen, and we can’t get up.

Between the unanimous standing O’s in the Canadian Parliament for former Waffen SS thug Yaroslav Hunka, Trudeau’s weak-ass mea culpas and their tippety-top general still refusing to apologize for applauding the sonofabitch and doubling down on the “fuck you”, I gotta say — I can’t pretend I’m not enjoying this. The vaunted Western World showed us its whole entire pasty, pimply, naked ass that day, and if you still #StandWithUkraine after THIS, then I don’t know what else to say to you indoctrinated losers.
