V. Fernadez,

I was referring specifically to MRZine.

Steve, I see that there is a link to MRZine at the Monthly Review site (I assume that “MR” stands for Monthly Review). I’ve always understood Monthly Review to be a reputable and credible socialist magazine for many years. Would you say that MR is indirectly complicit in this “mine field without warning signs?”

The essentially pro-imperialist nature of the left in Britain is by now completely obvious. Your analysis resonates with our own. I keep posting your stuff on our website- hope you approve.

Keep up the great work!

The pseudo-left is a Trojan horse inside the anti-imperialist and communist movement and you are doing a fine job exposing them.

Netfa, as Michael Barker points out in his feverish network analysis on globalresearch.ca (footnote 22), your funders at IPS - where I worked too (as a volunteer, 1988-89) - make us blood-brothers in dirty-money-grubbing, I hate to confess. Join the corrupted crowd. By the way, do you pay taxes to the US government, and hence fund the CIA? Damn, I’m infected talking to you too now; I just hope Gowans doesn’t learn about this, he’ll never let you off the hook.

Ouch! Hit’em hard, Steve. Hit’em hard. These so-called progressives want us to believe their motives are based purely on a desire for social justice, as if they’re immune from any influence by the hands that feed them. Live they’d advocate such things even if they were contrary to the interest of benefactors

As if any of us could be funded by the same sources with the analyses we assert, truly anti-imperialists analysis and not pseudo anti-imperialist. The so-called progressives can only act/talk against imperialist to the extent that they are not fundamentally challenged; that is only speaking select truths to power and not complete, unconditional truth to power.
