They support the neoliberal US-backed color revolution in Belarus, they recently wrote a piece praising the Polish Solidarity movement which overthrew socialism and installed a western puppet government, they think that China are evil gommies to be struggled against, the list goes on honestly. They're extremely awful on anything to do with foreign countries and basically fall in line with the US State Department on everything. They're the kind of "leftists" that think Imperialism is just when you invade foreign countries and maybe when the IMF forces structural adjustments. But at the same time they think IMF domination is the "lesser evil" between that and anything other than liberal democracy.
DN! was cheer leading the overthrow of Gaddafi , that was the moment I turned off DN!, they repeated the same State Department line on Syria. Horrible on China, even having State Department Uyghur activist on as an expert guest. Had Liberal HK politicians on begging Trump to intervene. DN! and Goodman are radlibs with shitlib takes, this is Goodman's absolute cringe article when Kamala was chosen as VP:
The polish solidarity movement is weird because poland was trying to do neoliberalism and austerity, so the workers striked, then the US, Polish gov, and Moscow did more austerity, sanctions, and strike-breaking. I think its more complex than saying it overthrew socialism, because the solidarity movement did a strike because they were having the fruits of their labor exported and rationed at home, basically to pay off western debts the government incurred.
I don't think Jacobin is pro-Imperialism... they published a bad take about Syria, but besides that am I missing something specifically?

I wonder if they take Sorosbucks. Democracy Now does and I remember their Syria coverage being horrible.
