Would comrade socialists agree with me that the mainstream news media in the United States is doing a miserable propaganda job of brainwashing the generic " public " for open hostility with Russia, China, Iran ? Does endless Pavlovian repetition of " Russia collusion " , Russia meddling " ( no meat on the bone ! ) make acceptable the likes of a Vietnam War on several fronts ? Why would any normal working class American be full of hate for Russia, China, Iran ( even Venezuela ) on the basis of what is reported of their international " crimes " on radio, television, in bourgeois newspapers ?
Both Napoleon and Hitler were slightly less than triumphant after invading Russia ? What land army can enforce the New Colonialism on the proud and numerous Chinese people ? How can U.S military forces attack Iran without inflaming the whole Arab world ?
But the ruling class news media won't let go of belligerent rhetoric and sticks to " Russia collusion " like a rabid pit bull on a human hand.
It can only mean WAR and soon . But there will be no patriotic enthusiasm on the home front for World War III . Again and again the target of bipartisan attacks, the American working class will be forced to revolt. The police state is prepared for that.
Yet the naïve younger generation - bereft of critical thinking skills - sees the NRA as the root of all EVIL - afflicted on THEM . Just make these spoiled brat, middle class kids safer and all will be well in their world ? Hardly an anti-war, anti-capitalist voice among them ( the ones getting news media attention ).
They are a long way even from a " Port Huron Statement " understanding of UN-DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA .
But one day they will wake up . We hope not too late.
