This week Joti Brar spoke with Garland Nixon about the anger and frustration that is building amongst western populations as their material conditions decline and chronic stressors multiply in their daily lives. What does the assassination of a health insurance company CEO tell us about the mood of the masses, and what do such actions ultimately achieve? They also talked about how so many charlatans and agents on the self-identifying ‘left’ are hailing the fall of the Syrian Arab Republic as a ‘liberation’.

Trumpeting imperialist lies, such people are the enemies of the working class; our movement will go nowhere and achieve nothing while they are allowed to continue in its leadership. They discussed the need to rebuild a genuinely class-conscious anti-imperialist antiwar movement which understands that the people on the front lines fighting off the west's aggressive regime change invasions are our allies and must be supported by every possible means. The fall of Syria is our failure as much as theirs – all of us who failed to organise ourselves to stop the criminal war machine in its tracks are culpable in Syria's suffering today. This is a key lesson that must be learned. Imperialism may be weak ripe for revolution, but it remains a dangerous beast, and it will not disappear unless we organise ourselves to bring about its downfall.
