The constant barrage of war propaganda provides the world with an opportunity to revisit in greater detail the historic relationship between the United States and its smaller neighbors to the south, in Central America, and the impact of a century of imperialist destruction that can only be called sociocide.Ĭlaims that the worst “excesses” of past policy have been corrected are belied by the treatment of Central American immigrants, including children, who continue to flee these countries as a result of the destruction wrought by American imperialism.įor a brief series of weeks in 2018, the treatment of immigrant children in the US was an item in the national and international news. Death, that dark spirit, in’s nervy arm doth lie, Which being advanc’d, declines, and then men die. These are the ushers of Martius: before him He carries noise, and behind him he leaves tears. The specter of American imperialism hangs over the populations of Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Afghanistan, Serbia like the conquering general and aspiring dictator Caius Martius in Shakespeare’s Coriolanus: Recent history provides ample evidence of what American imperialism truly “stands for,” which is the destruction of the international working class on behalf of finance capital. So, basically, that’s wrong, and it goes against everything that we stand for.” Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. It exists next to another country called Russia. As Vice President Kamala Harris said at the onset of the war in early March, “Ukraine is a country in Europe. The biggest lie of all is that the US stands for freedom and democracy. We are told that a Ukrainian government riddled with neo-Nazis is a beacon of democratic hope, that American bombs are being sent to save lives, that American sanctions which choke the world’s food supplies and throw hundreds of millions into the path of starvation are necessary humanitarian measures. Without a shred of critical thought, the Mighty Wurlitzer of war propaganda gets spinning.
In the corporate media, political establishment and middle class “left,” the sound of sanctimonious appeals to America’s responsibility to defend democracy in Ukraine has grown deafening.
