Second Ben Norton fanboyism of the day for me.
Always excellent Moderate Rebels podcast brings the in-depth analysis of the political landscape of Ecuador, and WTF is going on with the elections.
They also cover the US intel / NGO complex's co-option of anarcho-socialist-environmentalist elements in Ecuador and wider LA, it's history, and how it's becoming the way that the US is exerting control there.
I'm not politically educated enough to have a struggle session on this, and don't think it's constructive. Left unity. However, is it fair to say that certain US intel elements are co-opting nominally Anarchist/Environmentalist figures/movements to further foreign policy aims in certain circumstances?
The examples that spring to my mind are the above and Bellingcat-associated journalists (who are extremely quiet on fascist movements in Ukraine while decrying fascists at home).
This episode is essential listening.
edit: couple of edits to get back up onto the fence a bit more.
Course I knew they are now woke. It became clear when the guy from the office became an operator in Libya, did an anti-abortion scifi movie with his clearly liberal wife, and then joined them, IRL and on an amazon TV show.
Someone on the majority report is a Libya spook ffs
Shut up. I wasn't watching it the last couple of days. They actually had a decent guy on speaking the grim truth about corona. Nomiki was making jokes about not being a NATO shill too.
Posted this the other day: Why isn't there something on twitch/youtube in the trad majority report news show format, but communist/socialist/anarchist? Something that's on every day. NEWS. There's a massive opportunity there imo.
Majority report was moving in the right direction and then brooks died and it went back to constant lib shit.
Michael was great on Latin America. Live on king :michael-laugh:
