By deciding to provoke Russia into intervening in Ukraine, the U.S. empire took a geopolitical gamble. A gamble that it lost. It’s been left with accelerated social crises in the core countries from the sanctions blowback, at the same time that these sanctions have failed to destabilize Eurasia. The war profits and NATO unification that the conflict brought have not precipitated an actual expansion of imperial power, but a hastening of the transition into multipolarity. The proxy war’s “benefits” for the empire are hollow, having come in the context of a decline for U.S. hegemony which this war made more severe. The proxy war guaranteed the coming of multipolarity by proving that even when the imperial powers sacrifice their own people’s living standards to try to crush the Chinese bloc, their efforts to reverse history’s progression are futile.
Absolutely. Building coalitions to defeat US imperialism is THE most important thing we can do. That means working with all who share our values, including libertarians. Fussing about labels is a red herring used by the Langley Boys to stigmatize and poison the well against potential allies. The last thing they want is for the masses to work together in solidarity to achieve common goals. Divide and conquer is their entire plan. Just like the Nazis couldn't control Germany without first dividing people into arbitrary categories based on race, religion, and political affiliation. Funny how anyone who challenges the narrative is automatically labeled "right wing" by the Langley Boys. This is also why I support Bitcoin in capitalist nations, because it challenges the power of centralized banking, the IMF, and doesn't require permission from sticky fingered bankers. It is trustless. You control it, and you can transfer it any time you want, to anyone who holds a smartphone. You can cross the border safely with a billion dollars if you had to. Cash remains the ultimate privacy enabling form of currency. But it is hard to mail without using financial services. That is where Bitcoin comes in. It is also limited in volume, and isn't inflationary. In a Marxist-Leninist nation, the government would have no need for Bitcoin. It would be better for it to control the currency. That is why China understandably has banned it. But in capitalist nations, Bitcoin is the answer to many problems. In El Salvador, it brilliantly adopted Bitcoin as legal tender, because El Salvador got tired of being dependent upon the influence of the IMF and Western banking controls. The President of El Salvador, Bukele, has set the nation on a path toward independence from the United States.

Don't be fooled. The anti-tankies will sit on their butt and quibble all the day long, while never lifting a finger to oppose imperialism - because they actually support it and benefit from it as second tier beneficiaries of colonial extraction - and have zero intent of ever doing anything to confront or oppose it as they're afraid of losing their perks and benefits. Attacking speakers for certain confused political stances they may hold, in addition to being solidly antiwar and anti-imperialist, is just a smoke screen cover for these counter revolutionies' refusal to mobilize against imperialism no matter what. THEY are your enemies, not your temporary anti-imperialism coalition partners.
I seriously disagree with the sentiments laid out here, as well as the RATWM Rally. What we're talking about is a Red-Brown alliance for the purpose of achieving an anti-Imperialist goal. But, the Browns aren't anti-Imperialist, they're only against US support for Ukraine. In my eye, the reason they don't want the US to support Ukraine is because they like Putin, specifically his brand of anti-LGBT Fascism. We should not ally with these people, as they are nothing more than the scorpions who carry the toad.
Your side threw a red-brown genocide party, nobody showed up, and now you’re shrieking over the black and brown voices that called it out. Lol, lmao, even.
I've been to many, many antiwar rallies and even more antiwar marches. I've never heard of one that had a reception afterwards. That tells me no one showed up. Workers could see through the bullshit about this rally and chose NOT TO SHOW UP. Stop patting yourselves on the back for your failure. You organized with FASCISTS and workers turned their backs on you.
I suppose you will promote the March 18 rally set for Washington DC. I understand that Nazis are not welcome as speakers nor Lieutenant Colonel Tulsi Gabbard. I doubt anyone would stop even a Proud Boy or Oathkeeper from attending, just not leading.

Did Ron Paul and his anti-communist libertarian thugs subscribe to your Patreon? That's clearly who your audience is.

Stop avoiding the question. Answers why you chose to promote a rally with FASCISTS and DISGRUNTLED BERNIE BROS rather than rally of WORKERS.
Bullhsit, Rainer. THERE WERE LITERAL FASCISTS ON THE FUCKING STAGE AND LITERAL FASCISTS IN THE FUCKING AUDIENCE. AND HARDLY ANYONE SHOWED UP!
