    Idk I find if funny to read American empire capitalist decline, imperialist defeat, and Zionist fanaticism within the first few sentences of an Article.

    Like how deep do you have to be in the American left “liberal” talking points.

      Liberal talking points are basically nowhere to be found in this article. Liberal talking points are things like “Israel has a right to defend itself”, “I’m a capitalist”, “We should balance the budget by reducing spending”, “nothing will fundamentally change”, etc.

          The left in the USA is basically non-existent organizationally speaking. We have a center-right party (Democrats, or what you’re referring to as liberals) and a fascist party (Republicans).

          Probably most leftists in the US that vote vote for Democrats, but I (like many others) sit well to the left of classic “liberalism” (i.e. “free markets, free trade, free people”) and “neoliberalism” (de-regulate everything, cut tax rates, and form “private-public partnerships”).

          As the article covers, Zionism, for instance, is deeply embedded in both parties.
