Excellent. The post Soviet era has allowed the pre colonial era to resurface and remake the world. The ideological commitment to freedom has disappeared and the USA’s atrocious support of apartheid has reappeared unmasked in all its 1960 Congo viciousness inaugurating the era of kleptocracy. Thanks for that Kovalik interview, everyone should watch it. The West consuming middle class as you note in resisting countries is a dagger of the Abrahamic Accords. Algeria and North Korea are models, Haiti is a lesson, in the same boat as Gaza. It’s the Soviet era human rights international law that the US is crushing in Gaza with much of the third world too afraid to back South Africa as they see what’s happening around Hezbollah in Lebanon. Chris Hedges and Caitlin Johnston recent posts paint equally dystopian pictures.
