Top Secret: These are actually Socialist Countries
Published on Dissident Voice (first on New Eastern Outlook) NEO, by Andre Vltchek, Nov 7, 2016.
People all over the world are fed up with capitalism … //
… In the past, they used to simply try to fully ideologically discredit all socialist and Communist thoughts. Billions of dollars were spent on propaganda and disinformation, on ‘re-education’ of the masses in all corners of the globe, on targeted scholarships and tactics aimed at dividing the Left.
This approach was successful, but only to a certain degree. All over the world, the leftist revolutionary ideas would lose some ground for a while, but then they would re-emerge again, often under some new labels and banners.
Lately, the Empire has begun changing its strategy. Instead of trying to contain its main adversaries, it has decided to exterminate them ‘intellectually’ once and for all.
And how better to do it than by what it always does the best – by spreading confusion, nihilism and chaos.

Instead of attacking socialism and Communism directly, the Empire has begun its massive campaign to discredit most of the countries that are being governed by left-wing governments and movements … //
… In the meantime, millions of ‘purists’ from the pseudo-Left in the West got engaged in endless and pointless theoretical debates about what was or not true socialism and Communism … //
… Victorious and actively militant anti-imperialist governments and nations make them feel irrelevant, obsolete, embarrassing.
And the Empire knows it. It understands. It uses the soft Western left against the arch socialist and Communist enemies.
It is using soft left effectively because it is selfish, cowardly and it lacks discipline. But above all, because it is self enamored.

And so, in great unison with the Western Empire’s palace proemselves socialist are, in fact, more capitalist than the West, and the world can only be saved by some extremely vaguely defined and abstract system of collective production means (unrealistic and utopian, as nowhere except in the West and in a handful of countries inhabited by European descendants, like Argentina, would such concepts be supported by the masses).
The new alliance is against China, Russia, South Africa, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Syria, Iran, Eritrea; it is basically against all countries that are still opting for an independent, anti-imperialist course.
All these countries are ‘wrong’. All of them are brutally ‘oppressing their people’ and in almost all of them the local ‘oligarchs are more brutal than in the West’ … //
