After being defeated in a no-confidence vote, Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan is now claiming he has been replaced by an “imported government.” But for all the bombastic nationalism, Khan’s rule was marked by deference to the IMF and handouts to the rich.

Good article by a Pakistani Socialist, which talked about Imran Khan signing with IMF, social conservatism, repression of trade union and farmer groups and military backing to stay in power.

    Sure, Jacobin should be treated as an unreliable source and you should verify their shit before you believe it, but this r/politics-esque attitude of "no I didn't read the article, now here's my opinion on it" just causes conflict. If a comrade shares an article in good faith, it's usually worth reading it so that you can then respond in good faith. If an article is bad, tell them why it's bad.
