Why the Left Ignores Imperialist Provocations




For the better part of a two decades now most of the 'left' in its zeal to become accepted as co-manager of the biggest capitalist crisis since WWII has accepted the general view that imperialism doesn't require provocations in order to sustain its rule and further its sell by date.

Having set up organisations as a sign of concession to other social systems, the UN, it is now hellbent on burying it or making it pointless. The deregulation of international affairs goes hand in hand with the deregalation of national affairs. Imperialism is faced
with an attempt to surpass the nation state and national politics. Most countries are faced with imperialist dictat and a division which could lead to civil wars and revolutions. No more is this more pronounced than in the Arab world, where an attack on Iraq will severely destabilise pro-western Arab regimes.

Most imperialist interventions, whether they were in Guatemala in 1954 or Chile in 1973 or El Salvador in 1982 have involved some type of infiltration by the security services who organise events, blame it on opponents and use this as the excuse to justify military intervention. The acceptance of the left of most imperialist myths
goes hand in hand with the acceptance of the market, this fabulous invention which allows a few to live at the expense of the many.
