As anti-war demonstrations swept the country earlier this year, the repressive state apparatus intensified, and the protest has been cast underground. Nevertheless, the most committed activists have remained defiant in the face of suppression, coming up with creative new ways to spread their anti-war message to the masses.Read more

Rulers divide the world into 'worthy' and 'unworthy' victims; those we are allowed to pity, such as Ukrainians enduring the hell of modern warfare, and those whose suffering is minimized, dismissed, or ignored. This bifurcation of the world into worthy and unworthy victims is a key component of propaganda, especially in war. In this episode of The Chris Hedges Report, award-winning journalist Peter Oborne joins Chris Hedges to examine how worthy victims are used to allow citizens to see themselves as empathetic, compassionate, and just; how they are an effective tool to demonize the aggressor; and how they are used to obliterate nuance and ambiguity.Read more

Branka Prpa: Ukrajina žrtva proksi rata SAD i Evrope
Istoričarka Branka Prpa je, gostujući u emisiji N1 Newsnight, izjavila da je rat u Ukrajini tek sada počeo i da najava delimične mobilizacije u Rusiji znači da će se "znatno proširiti". Naglašava i da je "proksi rat" koji vode Amerika i Evropa preko Ukrajinaca "nešto najbesramnije u evropskoj istoriji". A na pitanje gde je u svemu tom Srbija, kaže: "Srbija je u slepom sokačetu, čeka šta će se dogoditi u budućnosti".Read more

Vladajuće klase, rat i razvojni modeli
U analizama rata u Ukrajini uglavnom izostaju ekonomske i klasne strukture Rusije i Ukrajine. Te bi strukture, kao i međunarodno ekonomsko pozicioniranje s obzirom na motive koje generiraju, mogle biti prodornija ulazna analitička točka od cementiranih moralnih pozicija i kavanske geopolitike. Nacrt analize u tom smjeru ponudio je slovenski sociolog Marko Kržan.Read more

Evasions on the Left over Ukraine
Wars are not light topics that can be dispensed of with simple formulas. I, for one, cannot imagine how the success of Russia would further the cause of democracy and socialism around the world. If you do, then say so, openly, so it can be debated in public. But don’t falsify tradition and history and hide behind pathetic slogans. To paraphrase Marx, we Marxists disdain to conceal our views and aims.Read more
