Speaker at DSA panel: “War creates the possibility for a push of socialists ideas” + “Democratic Socialism” in the Service of U.S. Imperialism

At a recent panel event hosted by the Democratic Socialists of America’s (DSA) chapter for the state of Maine, Vladyslav Starodubstev, a leader of the Ukrainian pseudo-left Sotsialnyi Rukh (Social Movement), put forward the chilling perspective that “the war creates the possibility for a push of socialist ideas in Ukraine.” The panelists and DSA moderators stated their agreement with the speaker and demanded the US government deploy more tanks, missiles, and howitzers to wage war against Russia, regardless of the risk of nuclear holocaust.

“Democratic Socialism” in the Service of U.S. Imperialism:

In “The Real Heritage of Harrington’s DSA,” we show where the reformist “democratic socialism” of 2018 came from, and what it actually stands for. Today’s Democratic Socialists of America hails the “tradition” of Michael Harrington and Norman Thomas, long-time leaders of the Socialist Party (SP) that gave rise to what is now the DSA. In that article (see p. x), we explain that this tradition has often, and accurately, been described as “State Department socialism.” Those unfamiliar with the left may think the term is a polemical excess or empty epithet. Not at all. In fact, intimate ties to the Department of State are only the beginning of the intertwining of the official social democrats with the agencies of U.S. imperialism. Activists who want to devote themselves to genuine socialism need to know what’s what. So here’s the story

What’s Behind the US Conflict with Russia (& also China)

YouTube: What’s Behind the US Conflict with Russia (& also China)

The US finds itself in the middle of a crisis with Russia over Ukraine, thousands of miles from its own shores, and amidst a decades-long campaign to overthrow governments across Europe, up to Russia’s borders and eventually aspiring to overthrow Russia itself.

But this campaign in Europe is just part of a wider global campaign by the US to eliminate its competitors and exercise uncontested control over the world’s population, resources, and nations.

I explain the background of the US-Ukraine-Russia conflict, how it ties in to US provocations against China, and where in the Western media itself it admits to many of the points made by both Moscow and Beijing in protest to US foreign policy.
