This discussion and your concerns are illuminated by recent events, with England, France leading and the United States following along in new imperial project.  I am definitely against the bombing (they call it a no-fly zone but will certain...

I've appreciated Wallerstein's analysis in the past and his world systems framework is very useful in my own research. His claim that there will no security council action though is somewhat embarassing in light of this article being publi...

How does UN SC resolution change this equation?   Asking for the rights to self-determination is all very enlightened but the context of a hyper-religious, tribal, post-colonial oil state is a reality that makes democracy, in any but the...

Now some are warried by "ego" of Chaves, while USA and NATO are preparing to bomb Libya - something that "clear and insightful " analysis of Wallerstein has predicted would NOT happen. A lot of insght here, sure.

Since Wallerstein wrote this the Security Council has in fact authorized a no-fly zone and more. Trying to do predictive analysis in this period of extreme fluidity is useless. Chavez is no intellectual, he sees everything through one lens and ob...

What is immediately striking to me, Sir, you do not mention: the most illegal, immoral, and hypocritical, but also the most disgusting matter of the whole case. The blatant and brutal injustice! Off course, being an American, you are used...

Thank you for questioning Hugo Chavez's judgment regarding Qaddafi.  The only thing I would take exception to is your gracing it with the word "analysis."  It seems to fall far short of anything that thoughtful.  One g...

Western imperialism is more of an obstacle to Arab liberation and the world Left, than is Qaddafi.  That being said, it is still foolish to embrace a brutal dictator who over the decades has transformed himself to a client of the West in the ...

Forum Post, March, 16 2011 Alla Nikonov

care for Libyans are much worse than naive. Noe mentioning that rebels' leaders just happened to be former Qaddafi men.  The major obstacle for the world left is NOT Qaddafi, but Western imperialism, period.

Sanda I see that The Observer in the UK was war-mongering again yesterday - nothing new there; Andrew Rawnsley, Nick Cohen and other right wing reactionary trolls - just like Iraq all over again. David Given the amount of arms that has been shi...

A no-fly zone enforced by whom? Pilger's point is that the the US/UK are the last ones that should be intervening given their record. They will not intervene to "prevent a massacre". They will intervene to protect or extend their int...

Actually much of the opposition is begging for a no-fly zone to prevent a massacre. It's a tricky world John and sometimes liberalism is not imperialism.

Are the people in Wisconsin or Lansing aware they need to be fighting for "deep transformations of our economy" as Naomi puts it? Or will they be happy with collective bargaining rights and dues check off?
