Bezmenov quit the newspaper to lecture across the U.S. for the John Birch Society, until he decided he could do better on his own, said Lucena. But he lacked organization and business sense, and his venture failed.

It was during this period that Bezmenov published a book titled A Love Letter to America, and recorded an extended, documentary-style interview with G. Edward Griffin, a prominent U.S. conspiracy theorist who later founded the online Red Pill University, which hosts documentaries on topics such as mass hypnosis and COVID-19.

Bezmenov continued to freelance and lecture wherever and however he could, even travelling to South Africa at one point. But his options continued to dwindle and by the late 1980s, he was living in the garage of a friend in Denver, Colo.

[ FYI: Apartheid in South Africa officially ended in 1994 ]

Bezmenov found his way back to Canada in 1990, checking into a rehab centre in Windsor, Ont… The following year, he landed a job teaching a public relations course at the University of Windsor.

“I worked with him diligently and he was getting back into the mainstream of life. He had a job and was seeing his children,” said Jim Whelan, a Windsor resident and Bezmenov’s sponsor at Alcoholics Anonymous. “And finally, at one Christmas, he relapsed.”

At the hospital, they found Bezmenov in a coma, hooked to a respirator, brain dead from methanol poisoning.

“I remember feeling terrified and guilty that I had done this to him and also terrified that if he had woken from his coma, he would be very angry with me,” said Steinbach. “I prayed in the hospital he would die.”

The coroner said his death was the result of “misadventure,” said Lucena. An empty windshield washer container was found in his apartment, along with a half-empty glass on his kitchen table, she said.

Fighting terrorism is supposed to be about blowing up brown people in foreign countries. De-radicalization, supporting indigenous cultures and effective economic development are the real GeNoCiDe!!! Don’t you see that China is the WoRsT aUtHoRiTaRiAn!?!?!

I’d rather take the rock and the stick and kill vampires.

Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks.

I’m guessing you are one of those “poor [that] see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”

The lack of class solidarity is definitely a major problem to be overcome.

The technical term often used is “recuperation”. Any innovation in radical evolution of culture is seen as a threat to the status quo, so recuperation comes in to co-opt the radical impulse and funnel it back into the status quo in a manner that is not destabilizing to exist structural power.

The classic example is media piracy like napster, bit-torrent, etc being co-opted into streaming services, itunes, etc. Service the desire that animated the radical impulse while reinforcing the existing power structures, foreclosing the potential threat. Enshittification often follows shortly after the enclosure has been successful.

Quorum sensing is an important factor in processes of quantitative change reaching a point where qualitative change is possible. This is just how social dynamics work. You’re welcome to encourage more people to join the push for a general strike or other local organizing groups and parties, but a mass of people will be necessary to bring about qualitative changes.

We need a general strike to start. It has to be big enough that is disrupts the ongoing social order, then revolution. Unfortunately many people are appeased by their treats and unwilling to commit to opposing the status quo in any effective way.

“The Nonsense of MAGA Communism”

Liberals getting deluded into thinking MLs and MAGA Communism are the same thing shows how much they desire for “horseshoe theory” nonsense. It really just proves how right-wing liberals are in their lack of any materialist analysis of geopolitics.

got to run before you can fly

but the history

Being historically illiterate is the core of fascist sycophants.

Put a racist misogynist in US justice system for a few days, and they suddenly care about the treatment of those they gleefully disparaged for years. How the turntables. Give him a few weeks and maybe he’ll reconsider his perspective a tiny bit (probably not, but it’s worth a try).

Liberals (Homer) trying to stand against fascism (the giant elephant).

China and the USSR saved the world from the fascism before, and the liberals will never forgive them for it.

Sorry, it’s pretty clearly stated in this interview by Lucas.

Precisely.

https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/2014_Ukrainian_coup_d'etat

The coup happened first in Feb 2014. Crimea succeeded and was annexed in March 2014. Crimea in 2014 was 68% ethnic Russians, with only 16% Ukrainian language speakers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Crimea#Ethnicities_and_languages

Crimean leadership attempted to create an independent republic, but Crimea instead became an autonomous region in Ukraine in 1992. Ukraine abolished the constitution of Crimea in 1995 and allowed the Ukrainian central government to veto the Crimean parliament’s chosen prime minister.

So the far right uprising and coup is where this started. Then the occupation and civil war on Donbas started shortly after this in April 2014. The majority ethnic Russian oblasts did not wish to be persecuted by the western Ukrainian banderites.

I think your Lag put your comment on the wrong post.

Ya, this was a repost, and TERFs was specifically used because of the wizard costume in a reference to a certain fantasy author. But it looks like it could be edited to another word pretty easily since the black robe background behind TERFs. Could probably just put bigots in there.

Wow, didn’t know about this event happening today. Fuck! Hard to say how this could be prevented without more info. Hopefully they at least catch the driver.
