A specter is haunting Congress: the specter of socialism.

Last week, as the US Congress discussed approving billions more dollars in weapons for the war against Russia and began negotiating cuts to social programs in advance of the debt ceiling expiration, the House spent three days discussing and adopting a resolution denouncing socialism and pledging to reverse all the social gains made by the working class on a global scale in the century since the Russian Revolution of 1917.

…

Before the resolution was brought to a vote Thursday, the Republican-controlled House Rules Committee rejected a proposed amendment introduced by Democrats that would have clarified “that opposition to the implementation of socialist policies in the US does not include federal programs like Medicare and Social Security,” according to the Hill.

You’re Not Actually Helping When You “Support” Protesters In Empire-Targeted Nations

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Truthout has a recent article titled “The Left Can Support Protesters in China Without Shilling for US Imperialism” with a subtitle asserting that “Chinese workers and Uyghurs need solidarity from leftists worldwide,” and it at no point attempts to defend either one of those titular claims.

Truthout interviews Rebecca E Karl, for the above-linked article. She works for NGOs/non-profits affiliated with George Soros and John D. Rockefeller 3rd (Rockefeller Foundation). As for Naomi Klein, she was ‘compromised’ even before coronavirus as covered by Cory Morningstar. I can’t find anything on the Jacobin author, as his name (pseudonym?!) is the same as the deceased Iranian poet and journalist Khosrow Golsorkhi. The GrayZone covered Jacobin, previously.

The significance of the Democratic Socialists of America’s call for US war against Russia until “Ukrainian victory”

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

The decision by the entire Congressional slate of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members and DSA-backed representatives to rescind a letter to Joe Biden calling for peace talks with Russia increases the likelihood of direct conflict between the US and Russia and raises the risk of nuclear war.

Biden Orders Progressives to Denounce Themselves on Ukraine

Biden Orders Progressives to Denounce Themselves on Ukraine

Congressional “progressives” are cowards and charlatans. They may actually believe in some of what they claim to espouse but at the end of the day they are more opportunistic than anything else. They have carved out a niche for themselves in certain parts of the country where voters are in fact progressive and want to see their political ideology put into practice. But good luck ever seeing that when the leader of the Congressional Progressive Caucus makes a fool of herself and her members when they didn’t have the courage of their very slim convictions.

According to Ryan Grim, Kevin McCarthy didn’t say that he would stop funding Ukraine. He was basically referring to his voters.
