Chris Hedges: The Road to Dictatorship

Donald Trump’s dismantling of the Deep State presages the formation of something far worse. By Chris Hedges ScheerPost The Trump administration’s war with the deep state is not a purgative. It is not about freeing us from the tyranny of intelligence…

There was much duplicity and a lot of thievery between #Russia, #Britain, and #France.
Russia hosted the #ThievesBanquet where the 3 parties carved out the #MiddleEast.
#SykesPicot was another secret agreement between Britain and France, but it was ratified by Russia and became a tripartite agreement.
However, Sykes-Picot was never implemented as the #Bolsheviks quit claim to the region and blew up the Sykes-Picot Agreement when they took over Russia.
#France tells #Israel to halt #GolanHeights incursion and calls military deployment in buffer zone “a violation of the 1974 disengagement agreement” between Damascus and Tel Aviv.
France has coveted #Syria since before #WWI. See #DamascusProtocol (written by secret Arab societies), #ThievesBanquet (#Russia, #Britain, and France), and #SykesPicot Agreement (secretly carving up #MiddleEast between Britain and France, but never implemented because #Bolsheviks blew it up)

"In a way the Bolshevik revolution created the 20th century. It created all of the far right reactions to it. I don't know how far we can go with this counterfactual, whether with a Left-SR revolution you don't get Hitler but... maybe you don't?"
#DavidRunciman, 2024
"I think you don't, and I think it's much easier with counterfactuals to identity what you don't get than what you do get."

"David talks to the historian of Russia Edward Acton about how the Russian Revolution might have unfolded if the Left SRs and not the Bolsheviks had come out on top. Could Lenin have been sidelined? Might the Terror have been avoided? And what would it have meant to the wider world if revolutionary socialism had been liberated from Marxist communism?"

He got out in 1990 & told me some stories involving that.
It's clear that his experiences have made him leary of anything authoritarian, fascist or Bolshevik.
That FDR capitulated too much to the Soviets and could've prevented China from become a superpower early on by focusing on the Soviet Union. They had so many spies in defense and government, even as early as the 1930s, that allowed them to advance capabilities way quicker than they should have.
The UN veto should've never transferred to Russia & therfore time to start a new one. Might at well expand NATO into a new version & just not invite Russia. League of Nations > UN because the LoN had no teeth.
UN was able to enforce Korea, but could not occur now. All the proof you need.
He said the Allies missed a big opportunity in landing in Balkans instead of Normandy & put pressure on the Soviet Union. He said that Churchill was on board with that plan.

There were numerous "old #bolsheviks" that actively conspired against the construction of #socialism and sought to seize power for themselves and enact their own political agenda.
#JosephStalin's wing of the party struggled hard against the #revisionists and #opportunists and class-alien elements. He wasn't the only one struggling, it was a group of tendencies that struggled against one another.

Why did Soviet Russia descend into a totalitarian dictatorship? Ernest Mandel wrote a good summary about that, and I give an overview of his analysis here: https://proletarianperspective.wordpress.com/2022/11/21/ernest-mandel-on-the-russian-civil-war-part-1-invasion-and-bureaucratization-2/ #RussianRevolution #Lenin #Bolsheviks #Stalin #Trotsky #Socialism #Russia #Revolution #Socialist
#VladimirPutin is holding a ‘vote for me, or else’ #2024election in #Russia and occupied territory of #Ukraine.
In related news, @Wikipedia is reminding us that OTD in 1917 #Russia Tsar Nicholas II was forced to abdicate by #Bolsheviks. 
Culture vs. War: Culture as a mean of aggression and a tool of resistance. Debate on the 2nd anniversary of the Russian full-scale aggression of Ukraine
#AnnaFotyga .
Weaponisation of culture by Russia in order to pursue its imperialistic goals is not a new phenomenon. Alexander #Pushkin, perceived by many as a romantic and sensitive poet, in my country, #Poland, is foremost remembered for brutal attacks on our aspirations for freedom, as in the poem “To the Slanderers of Russia”.
For the peoples of the #Caucasus, Mikhail #Lermontov played a similar role in the pursuit of Russian colonialism. This Russian cultural imperialism did not stop even when the #Bolsheviks overthrew the system. And it still plays a key role in #Russia today.
While Western cultural elites still think that Russian culture is beyond politics, #Putin uses it not only to justify the crime of #aggression, but also to continue #genocide, denying Ukrainians the very right to exist as a nation. He banished those few who refused to glorify the concept of “#RusskyMir”. And is doing his best to make sure that Russia’s “Z” soldiers are supported by a powerful cultural offensive.

Photographs of #Kyiv of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Authorship of the famous Kyiv photographer #FranzDeMezer, an active member of the #KyivLiteraryAndArtisticSociety and friend of #LesyaUkrainka.
In 1918, the #Bolsheviks stormed Kyiv and declared cameras and their accessories luxury items subject to confiscation. All the equipment and most of the negatives were taken from de Mezer. The photo workshop was closed and ceased to operate.
This morning in #Kyiv, on Shevchenko Boulevard, the dismantling of the monument to the military commander of the #Bolsheviks #Shchors began.
(a monument to #Shchors in Kyiv in 1936 ordered to be installed personally by #Stalin, but due to the beginning of the Second World War, it was installed only in 1954)
