The Deprogram

He's plainly wrong. Leftism in the imperial core is largely reformist of capital. Economism, essentially; prostrating and asking the bourgeoisie for a far less brutal crack of the whip of oppression and a slightly wider sliver of the "imperialist plunder" pie. They have no internationalist solidarity (excepting the PSL, who openly embraces international solidarity with the global South). They think of reality only within the confines of their national borders, neglecting the global role that their imperialist nations play. Without the rest of the globe to exploit, the nations they know would not exist. But they somehow want to strip away all of the external and somehow create an accurate reading of reality. They arrive at nothing but distortions and their failure after failure is testament to this. Meanwhile, the bourgeoisie knows precisely what drives the engines of capitalism; at this moment, the Western left is nothing but an insignificant pest buzzing in their ear.

Once the left learns to break from the capitalist, opportunist, and revisionist elements that inhibit the necessary revolutionary development of its proponents into an internationalist front to combat the global engines of oppression, then will they really experience the brutal reality of the global South that they've been so coddled and separated from. Only until leftists are massacred in the hundreds and thousands by the bourgeoisie's fascist lapdogs within the imperial core will they understand that this brutality must be met with a far stronger, unrelenting, and less forgiving violence. They will know that the only way to truly root out the bourgeoisie and their fascist servants is in the most vicious and thorough fashion.

All of the revolutionary movements and revolts of history, whether successful or crushed, will be vindicated when reality reveals to those in the present the true, naked nature of the neoliberal death cult that has held the world in subjugation for centuries.

So he blames it all on the "imperial apparatus". The refusal of the Western Left to do any real introspection about its own faults (such as its chauvinism and its entryism – and their entryism is intimately tied to their exceptionalism, believing that it can succeed in the "civilized" West even though it has failed everywhere else) continues.

The reality is that if there weren't such large swathes of the Western Left that were willing to embrace chauvinism and social-democratism and betray the international working class, no amount of repression would have succeeded in eliminating the real revolutionaries and so thoroughly suppressing class consciousness.

If the Western Left had stuck to the Marxist-Leninist and internationalist line instead of turning against their own more radical comrades and against Actually Existing Socialist states, then the only thing that the imperial apparatus could have done is go full Jakarta Method. This can be done in a colonized country but would have been too destabilizing for the imperial core.

But it was precisely the betrayal of the global south by large swathes of the Western Left that led it into the pathetic, disorganized, ideologically confused state and the dead end of social democratic entryism that it now finds itself in.

Says the guy who supports Graham Platner. He is the thing standing in the way of the western left learning anything.

It's the whole imperial system that's like that, there's multiple extreme view point with a M.A.D between them. Like the gun.

It makes introspection highly improbable. Their culture is designed for maximum profit seeking and is the complete opposite of a socialist form of production. If you are raised by a different culture and somehow end up in America it's literally impossible to function without giving up your own culture. You have to become at least somewhat white. At best you can wear your culture as a suit, like a coconut. You can't actually practice it, outside of a remotely ineffective commune that some anarchist is trying to build. Or if you're put in a human reservoir and allowed to exist, which is what Americans are doing to their Native population. Are the human zoos really gone or did they just make then not for public access?

And then he turns around and continues his entryist bullshit.
