    There is a left alternative between imperialism and isolationism. It's what Cuba and the USSR used to do by supporting and arming liberation groups around the world to rise up within.

    The radlibs won't like to hear it though.

        Ahhh I see. I do not exist on the same level of irony that the cool podcast listeners exist on.

        I think in hindsight I would not really put what I said between "imperialism" and isolationism though. I implied that arming liberation groups is somehow a step closer to imperialism than isolationism is and I don't really think that's a correct assessment.

      Arming resistance groups within rival nations isn't new it is what any country/empire have been doing for a long time. The discourse about intervention is once again just capitalism vs socialism discourse. Capitalist X bad, Socialist X good is the right conclusion for most of these discussions
