The Real American Left Has To Publicly And Forcefully Dump The Play- "The Left" For Whom There Is Always A Hitler-Stalin Pact In The Offing

SINCE THE THEME of my blog is what the American left has done wrong that has kept it perpetually out of power for is entire existence and how to get out of that rut, I bring you the lunatic take of Professor Richard Wolff, who bills himself as America's most prominent Marxist economist, on why the invasion of Ukraine is all the fault of President Biden and the Democrats.  

This isn't a single lunatic take on this, it has been the line of the publisher of The Nation and her late husband, a variation of it is spouting from the massive scumbag Glenn Greenwald, widely considered by idiots on the American left as a leftist even as he and his closest colleagues are supporting the same position as some of the worst fascists in the present day world.  And others.   All of them sounding like the Stalinists who turned on a dime, going from the biggest, fattest Hitler haters to doves for peace with Hitler when they found out about the Hitler-Stalin pact.   Only a lot of them never were much bothered by Putin, with whom, as I've pointed out, they share a history of Marxism even as its nature of turning into capitalist-fascist gangsterism instead of Marx's fairytale stateless world becomes ever more apparent.   Given that, Ukraine's progress toward democracy as Russia fell into Putin's gangster criminal facism is remarkable.

Particularly telling is Wolff's repetition of Putin's "de-Nazification" talk when the Ukranian president would have been murdered by the Nazis because of his Jewish heritage.   I will note, since I've so recently gone into the history of American left's stereotyping of Eastern Europeans that Ukraine had an elected Jewish president before the United States did.

The American left got sold a huge bill of good from Marxists in the late 19th and 20th centuries and with that they fell for the "my country always wrong" snobbery that was always a huge part of that.  As well, as Wolff's lunatic ranting has it, the worst of all Americans are the Democrats who are the best chance for egalitarian democracy ever being achieved here.   The reflexive Blame America Always will always target the Democrats because, like the Green Party collaborators with Republican-fascism,  I suspect under the patronage of Putin 

 

they have delusions that the thing between them and power is the Democratic Party.    They will certainly mount spoiler candidates in this years election and the 2024 elections, I strongly suspect that such play-lefty sources as The Nation and In These Times will carry support for that along with their eternal condemnation of Democrats.
