The analysis shows that the Russian revolution was followed by a counter-revolution, and resulted in state capitalism and the revival of Russian imperialism under cover of the Soviet Union. Thus the Cold War was actually a prolonged period of inter-imperialist rivalry between the United States and Russia. A large section of socialists who call themselves anti-imperialists oppose only Western imperialism and the despots it supports, not Russian imperialism and despots like Bashar al-Assad who are supported by it. As Russia has moved further and further to the right under Putin, they have effectively defected to the far right. They and other socialists also mistakenly believe that political democracy is organically connected to capitalism and therefore need not be defended, whereas, on the contrary, democracy is only established by mass struggles, and is an indispensable resource in the fight against exploitation and oppression. Finally, these socialists fail to understand that without internationalism, it is impossible to defeat global capitalism and its neoliberal policies. All the case studies in this book represent attempts to carry out democratic revolutions, which are supported by genuine socialist internationalists but opposed by pseudo-anti-imperialists. The book ends by suggesting steps that can be taken to promote democracy and end mass slaughter.</p>...2690950Indefensible322448https://www.gandhi.com.mx/indefensible-9781608469123/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2804630/6b7fa831-8389-4aa2-ba5a-75378a374055.jpg?v=638744222608670000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20189781608469123_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9781608469123_<p>Seeking to answer the question why so many self-professed anti-imperialists have supported totalitarian, fascist, theocratic and imperialist regimes, this book finds that in some cases, it is because they support Russian imperialism and have followed suit as Russia has moved to the far right, and in other cases they have failed to understand the importance of democracy and internationalism in the struggle against exploitation and oppression.</p>...(*_*)9781608469123_<p>Using an analysis of imperialism and case studies of Syria, Iran, Iraq, Bosnia, Russia and Ukraine, <em>Global Democracy and the Crisis of Anti-Imperialism</em> shows that the purported anti-imperialism of many self-professed socialists amounts to explicit or implicit support for totalitarianism, fascism, Islamist theocracy and imperialism.
