< Back HAS PUTIN HAD ENOUGH OF WESTERN DUPLICITY? | BY CASSIE SIPE Cassie Sipe 7 дек. 2023 г. This article was republished from Cassie's Substack . Russian President Vladimir Putin revealed earlier this year Ukraine and Russia negotiated a peace deal for Ukraine’s neutrality during peace talks in the spring of 2022. Of course, Boris Johnson derailed it, by offering to arm Ukraine should they keep fighting. The question is, has Putin had enough of Western duplicity? That is what I am pondering today. Why would Russia take the “Collective West” at face value with their negotiations or agreements? Have they learned nothing from the sham Grain Deal and the betrayal of the Minsk Agreements ? Or were they simply checking off boxes as a last resort before further action? Why trust The West after they promised not to expand NATO yet did so anyway?Why enable Israel, as they Bomb Syria and arm Ukraine? In this article, I will look at five ways The Collective West and Israel burned and betrayed Russia. A result of Russia’s soft foreign policy and the West’s flagrant disregard for shared agreements and Russia’s red lines. 1. Israel’s policy on Syria and Ukraine While Israel claims to have a balanced approach when it comes to its relations with Russia and Ukraine it clearly favors the latter. From the start, it voted for a resolution condemning Russia’s invasion, at the UN. Despite Israel not directly arming Ukraine for the war, a Lithuanian group was able to donate Israeli Radar systems to Ukraine. Israel allowed the US to send weapons from its stockpile to be sent to Ukraine via Israeli ports on the condition that the weapons be replaced. Israel went on to pledge support for Ukraine’s effort to develop an Early Warning Missile System . While, Israel until now supposedly remained neutral towards Russia despite not being thrilled by Russia’s 2015 intervention in Syria, it should not be a surprise that Israel sided with Ukraine. Although Turkey was involved in Ukraine’s unrealized plan to attack Russian troops stationed at Syria’s Latakia airport in 2022, one wonders if Israel was also involved in planning the attack, using Ukraine as a conduit to attack the airport. Since then, Israel bombed the airport, targeting Iranian proxies earlier this fall. In fact, Israel has a long history of arming and training Ukrainians. Going back to the beginning in 2014, the IDF was present at the Euromaidan protests. There they were under the direction of the Svoboda Party a neo nazi group. This event eventually led to the coup against Ukraine’s President. His ouster led to a Ukrainian civil war that became a proxy conflict between Russia and NATO in 2014. In 2022 it expanded into an all-out war with Russia’s invasion. Besides the Svoboda Party, the IDF worked with yet another neo nazi group. The Azov Battalion is one of the many far-right Neo nazi battalions in the Ukrainian armed forces. Israel supplied them with weapons in 2018 . Despite this, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin have an agreement about ‘Russia’s Red lines’ in Syria. Ensuring neither side’s weapons will be used against each other. Since then, Ukraine accused Israel of betrayal due to its Agreement with Russia. Yet, it would be naïve to think Israel has not crossed Putin’s red lines in Ukraine. Why agree to such a deal when Israel continues to enable Ukraine and bomb Russia’s ally Syria? Per their agreement, Russia refused to allow Syria to use its Russian-made S-300 missile system to target Israeli aircraft before the Israeli-Hamas conflict. Iran on the other hand was happy to strengthen Syria’s air defense against Israel. Ukraine has been quite skilled at playing both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conundrum. The leader of the Azov Battalion spoke at the Israeli Knesset last year during his tour of Israel. None the less,, the Azov Battalion underhandedly trained Hamas this summer. While as recently as this summer the IDF was fighting in Ukraine. Funny enough, Russian sources Report they have since left to fight Hamas. Despite all of this, Russia announced this summer it would open an embassy in Jerusalem. Recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Holy City as its capital, something it criticized the US for doing in 2017. Although, now with the situation in Gaza, Putin reaffirms the solution is for Israel to reduce itself to its 1967 borders which would grant Palestinian statehood but leave Israel without Jerusalem. Ironic, isn’t it? 2. 2022 Ukraine War Peace Plans Russia withdrew its forces from Kiev following a Peace Plan signed in spring of 2022. They voluntarily gave up a key position thinking the war would come to a negotiated end. They should have known that like The Minsk agreements Ukraine and its allies were just stalling for time. Indeed, Boris Johnson flew to Ukraine to inform Zelensky ‘’the Collective West” was prepared to provide them with weapons if they kept fighting Russia. 3. Minsk Agreements The Minsk Agreements were a series of peace agreements, of which the EU helped broker. It included a cease-fire, prisoner exchanges and elections with autonomy for separatists and regions in Ukraine. The Minsk Agreements were signed by Russia and Ukraine in 2015. They could have nipped the conflict in the bud had they been adhered to. But as Angela Merkel admitted it was all just a ploy to buy time so NATO could train Ukraine’s military to its standards and prepare a vast network of trenches and tunnels a preemptive measure incase of a large-scale invasion beyond Russia’s 2014 invasion of Crimea. NATO’s interference rendered the agreements meaningless. 4. NATO Expansion A verbal Soviet-era agreement with the US agreed that NATO would not expand east. Yet within the last 20 years or so NATO has expanded to multiple former Warsaw Pact countries, despite the warnings by CIA Director William Burns of Russia’s potential reaction to Ukraine joining NATO. In 2008, NATO first made clear its plans for Ukraine’s NATO membership . The quick death of the Minsk Agreements allowed The Collective West to train Ukrainian troops to NATO standards in preparation for fighting Russia. With the 2022 peace agreement scuttled, they were able to trick Russia into pulling out of Kiev and quickly arm Ukraine to prolong the war. 5. Cold War treaties A sign Russia has had enough of the duplicity, Putin suspended the INF Nuclear Treaty , which Trump had already withdrawn from previously. Early this year, Russia announced it intended to suspend the New Start Treaty due to NATO’s support for Ukraine. Given the history of Bush withdrawing from the ABM treaty and Trump withdrawing from the Open Skies treaty it left the New Start treaty as the last nuclear treaty. The dissolution of which leaves open the possibility of an arms race. In October, the Russian Duma prepared the withdraw from the CTBT treaty, a ban on nuclear testing. Although, at the time of this article President Putin has not signed the withdraw into law. On the other hand, the US signed the treaty but never ratified it into law. Affirming that it made no sense to continue it, at a time in which Russian US relations are at their lowest level in history. Similarly, the US and it’s allies never ratified the 1999 CFE treaty preventing it from being legally binding.. Russia originally suspended the treating in 2007 when NATO countries refused to ratify it after Russia intervened in Georgia in 2007. This summer Russia withdrew from the CFE treaty, a treaty limiting the use of conventional armed forces. Russia cited Finland’s NATO membership and Sweden’s NATO application as the reason for the withdraw. In response to the Scandinavian countries plans, Russia militarized its border in 2022. This year Sweden and Finland militarized their borders with Russia partly due to illegal immigrants from third countries invading their borders from Russia. Conclusion They say perception is reality. The West harped on and on about Russia wanting to ‘’recreate the Soviet Union’’ and grossly exaggerated the threat to Central and Eastern Europe when the war in Ukraine began. Now that Hamas attacked Israel this fall, Western media claims Putin is supporting Hamas because of Russia’s involvement in the release of hostages along with the Al Aqsa flood attack happened on October 7 th , his birthday. I do not know why Russia thinks that they can softly negotiate with their Western counterparts. Harsh negotiations, ultimatums, and leverage is the only thing the Collective West and Israel respond to. Stating their case for a neutral Ukraine and a Palestinian state will never actually be considered by their opponents until it is clear they have no choice but to form an agreement. Russia like a battered wife seems to assume the “Collective West" will change its behavior once a formal agreement is made. Russia’s willingness to negotiate is interpreted by the West as a sign of a ‘’weak’’ Russia, leaving them ripe for a double cross. If Russia wises up they can end the war sooner. However, if they continue their delusional thinking, viewing The West and Israel “as honest brokers” with a lack of a strong response towards, they will continue to be strung along . Such naïveté could lead to an expansion of both wars into wider conflicts and further disregard for Russia’s security concerns. Russia needs to accept that now that all of the Cold War era treaties are broken they’re officially party to a New Cold War and it’s time to act as such. As a sign of change, Russia is now beginning to challenge the US presence in Syria . Putin recently condemned Israel for its attacks on civilians in Palestine, something it hasn’t done before. For now, any strong action taken against Israel, or the West remains to be seen. Perhaps, with Israel’s genocide in Gaza and support for Ukraine forcing Russia to break its neutrality on Israel, Russia might finally wake up and use this opportunity to respond in kind.

< Back TOOLS FOR PROPER POLITICAL ANALYSIS Slava the Ukrainian Socialist 5 февр. 2024 г. While it’s relatively easy to analyze history retrospectively, it becomes much harder to understand events unfolding right in front of our eyes. As described in the first part of this series , the media, being the tool of the imperialist forces, constantly manipulates the information available to us, employing every dirty trick in the book to ensure that we never learn the truth. But, just as every poison has an antidote, we the working class can do proper research and analysis with the right tools. Let’s discuss how and why we can use Dialectical Materialism while analyzing modern history, and what technical instruments are most helpful to us. What is Dialectical Materialism? Dialectical Materialism is a method for comprehending reality, our thoughts, and our reactions to the material world that surrounds us. In simple terms, this approach combines Dialectics and Materialism, both of which serve as the theoretical foundation of Marxism. In contrast to idealism, which denies the possibility of understanding the world and its laws, Dialectical Materialism teaches us that there are no things in the world that are unknowable, only things that are as yet unknown. The ideas of Dialectical Materialism are not merely a fixed dogma; rather, they constitute a system of tools and general principles for scientifically analyzing the world. The fundamental tenets of Dialectical Materialism assert that everything that exists is derived from matter and is in a constant process of change and development. The principles and laws of Dialectical Materialism were elucidated in Friedrich Engels's 1878 book "Herrn Eugen Dührings Umwälzung der Wissenschaft" (Herr Eugen Dühring’s Revolution in Science, better known as Anti-Dühring ). Engels outlined three major laws of Dialectical Materialism: the Unity and Struggle of Opposites, also known as the law of contradictions; Negation of the Negation, and the Transition of Quantity into Quality. Let's explore how we can apply each of these laws in our political research and analysis. The Struggle Of Opposites According to the first law, everything in this world harbors internal contradictions or forces that are mutually-exclusive but also dependent on each other. What are the main contradictions of our time? Today, more and more people are becoming conscious of a class contradiction; that is, the conflict between two classes due to different economic positions. An understanding of this contradiction is vital when analyzing how certain policies are made in our society. Whose class interests are advanced by government decisions? Politicians rarely advocate for public interests but rather for the interests of those they actually serve, namely the capitalist class. While class contradiction is sufficient for analyzing domestic politics, what helps us draw accurate conclusions when examining foreign relations? Here we must consider the primary world contradiction of our times - Imperialism. The United States and its 'allies' have long exercised hegemony, leading not only to two major world wars but also numerous local conflicts around the globe. They are 'masters' at creating chaos and inflicting maximum harm under the guise of 'spreading democracy' to underdeveloped countries. You can learn more about the so-called ‘Color Revolution Doctrine’ in our recent documentary at The Revolution Report. Negation of the Negation The second law reflects how objects and phenomena evolve based on their inherent contradictions, creating the conditions for their eventual demise and the emergence of new ones. For instance, under capitalism, class antagonism escalates as new forces of production diverge from the existing relations of production. Mass production greatly benefits the bourgeoisie, while the proletariat endures deepening poverty and misery. We should therefore interpret strikes and protests across the country as a sign, not of workers' laziness as the capitalists imply, but as the rational response to deteriorating working conditions. Widening inequality fosters an increase in class consciousness, ripening the conditions for a revolution. The Transition of Quantity into Quality This law is best exemplified in nature, where changes occur not gradually but through quantitative advances that eventually result in a qualitative change once certain conditions are present. Political evolution mirrors this pattern observed in nature. Increased class consciousness cannot be parlayed into a revolutionary state overnight. Instead, small but consistent struggles eventually culminate in significant transformations. History is replete with examples, including the abolition of slavery, a racist institution which required centuries of activism and sacrifice to finally dismantle. Practical Tools To Use When Doing Research Now that we have analyzed how to apply dialectical materialism in our research, here are some practical tools we can use to confirm or disprove information from mainstream media, and to circumvent censorship: 1. Google Lens or Bing reverse image search to determine whether a certain image was indeed taken at the claimed place and time. Remember the 'burned baby' picture Ben Shapiro shared on X, claiming Hamas burned Israeli babies? It turned out that the image was AI-generated. It was possible to prove this through a reverse-image search, which revealed the original picture had been a puppy. 2. To view previous versions of mainstream articles, use the Wayback Machine, also known as the Internet archive - https://archive.org/ . News outlets often publish articles with explosive headlines that cast aspersions without any proof. After further evidence emerges, these outlets quietly change the headline and tweak the content of the article, without issuing a correction and mea culpa . For example, no mainstream media organization ever issued a public correction for coverage that falsely characterized as a Russian disinformation campaign the Hunter Biden laptop revelations prior to the 2020 elections. 3. To download a video before censorship takes it down, use https://www.4kdownload.com/products/videodownloader-42 . YouTube and other video platforms have ramped up censorship. We must preserve copies of digital content in case of their removal. 4. If you are doing a lot of online reading, you can use a highlighter browser extension on websites for future reference, - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/highlighter/fdfcjfoifbjplmificlkdfneafllkgmn . The material remains highlighted so long as you use the same device or account. 5. A screen recorder extension can be used to save content that you suspect might later be censored and removed from the internet. Some platforms don't allow the downloading of videos, in which case you can use the screen recorder. 6. If you need to convert web pages to PDF to save valuable information under threat of censorship, use - https://webtopdf.com This tool saves you a lot of time because you don't have to manually copy and paste many different pages. 7. Finally, there are tools to bypass mainstream media paywalls, such as - https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome . Mainstream news outlets want to charge us as much as possible to read their lies. We needn't reward them for their propaganda. 8. Capitalists are willing to expend vast resources to protect their interests. News outlets repeat lies over and over again until enough of the public believe them. But we should never give up and blindly follow their preaching. By using the laws of Dialectical Materialism and some practical tools, we can expose the false narrative. Our strength is in numbers. Workers of the world should unite in doing proper political research! Previous Next

< Back IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND POLITICS Slava the Ukrainian Socialist 31 янв. 2024 г. In the dynamic and complex world of politics, it’s easy to blame the public for drawing wrong conclusions and for failing to understand that they are manipulated to vote against their own interests. Political education is suppressed for obvious reasons, as it’s easier to exploit a population that doesn’t know what is really happening in the world. Without a keen awareness of the broader context, political discourse is prone to distortion and misinterpretation. This article will delve into the crucial importance of context in politics, and how our media removes this context to shape and influence public perception, thus confusing people and leading them to make wrong choices. In politics, context is not ancillary but rather the very fabric that binds together the intricate tapestry of political landscapes; the linchpin that forms the meaning and implications of events, decision, and policy. Unmoored from context, political moves become arbitrary and lack depth. Media plays a pivotal role in shaping public opinion, and the importance of context in media coverage cannot be overstated. Out-of-context statements or events misinform people. Analyzing political news and statements in the broader context helps us make informed judgments and prevents the manipulation of narratives. Cropped Framing Picture tuning in to the news on TV to watch coverage of a political event. In the first media frame, you witness Palestinian children throwing stones at IDF tanks, resulting in “property damage.” In the second frame, a distant perspective of the scene is presented, with the reporter explaining that the homes in Gaza were destroyed due to the violence of the Palestinian children. The rationale given is that the IDF had no alternative but to defend itself from the attacks. Controlled Access Public response to unfolding events is heavily influenced by how they are framed to construct a particular narrative. It operates like the frame of a picture, limiting our perspective by excluding the broader context that would help us understand what is within the frame. Embedded reporting is a method by which the media shapes a story based on guidelines set by those granting access. For example, Israel may permit reporters in certain areas but bar entry to others that contradict the image it seeks to portray. In short, the media becomes a propaganda tool for the powerful. Chosen Angle Disingenuous media framing often also involves the omission and distortion of facts. When the media produces documentaries or news, especially related to war, it is ordered to have a specific point of view and tone, discarding or distorting facts that contradict their chosen angle. Public reaction is manipulated when the root causes of conflicts are overlooked , victims are selectively chosen, and the facts are handpicked. Deception becomes a guiding principle of the media, especially concerning the timing of reporting. The media may remain silent when innocent lives are lost, and report only ‘worthy victims’ for political expediency or when public outrage threatens the powerful. Take, for example, the way American media reports about Israeli bombings of Gaza. They never say who dropped the bombs, but merely acknowledge an event devoid of the agent: ‘Explosion kills hundreds in Gaza.’ Yes, a spontaneous explosion just happened on its own. Or another one: ‘A powerful blast rocked Gaza’... No comment. Selective Condemnation The cumulative impact of media framing is evident in selective public grievances and condemnations. Some deaths are publicly mourned, while the media silently buries others. The public condemns only the crimes highlighted by the press, while other grave crimes remain shrouded from public view and collective memory. Worse, the media hype to condemn certain incidents may lead members of the public to seek vengeance, responding to media narratives with evil acts. Let us not forget what happened in Chicago last October, when an angry landlord stabbed a 6-year-old Palestinian boy to death and wounded his mother in a frenzy after imbibing endless, sensational news about the events of October 7th, 2023. Distortion and suppression of facts deprive the masses of historical explanations of how the world became what it is today. Bourgeois propaganda represents a heinous crime against working class identity, impacting our memory and history. Our concepts of humanity, justice, equality, and virtues rely on the comprehension of facts and historical events. As the media manufactures consent, our sentiments become prescribed, reactions suggest political stances, and our humanity is stunted. In the face of overwhelming media manipulation, people must abandon illusions to maintain their integrity. False narratives from the media lull us into a false sense of moral superiority and zeal to unthinkingly condemn others. They narrow our vision so that we endorse injustice. Instead of shifting the blame to the public for having incorrect understanding of politics, our role as communists is always to strive to help our people know the facts and make proper analyses. One of the main tools of analysis is Dialectical Materialism. The second part of this series will illustrate how we can draw on Dialectical Materialism and Marxism to analyze news and politics, so as to have more fruitful conversations with people around us.

The ongoing genocide in Gaza is not being perpetrated by the Zionist regime alone but with the full involvement and complicity of the United States and its partners, including Germany, Canada, the UK and France. At the same time, however, it has also strikingly illustrated the rise in the regional resistance, from the sharpening battle on the borders between Lebanon and occupied Palestine and the role of the Yemeni people, government and armed forces (and the AnsarAllah movement) in defending the Red Sea against complicity with genocide. ICSS discuss the role of Palestine and the rise of the regional resistance — and the challenge this poses to imperialism more broadly.
