Re: [marxmail] Multipolaristas' Dugin maneuvers through BRICS contradiction

I haven't read the article yet, Charlie but here are my own thoughts on this. Multi-polarism essentially means supporting the two other Imperialists (China and Russia) against U.S. Imperialism. This is devoid of a Marxist understanding of the class struggle and allows for apologia of the actions

Re: [marxmail] NYT: On Campus, a New Social Litmus Test: Zionist or Not?

I have some sympathy for the "liberal leaning Jewish" students. I believe the term "Zionist" is being used inaccurately and is often, in my experience, aimed at Jewish students and not folks at large who are sympathetic to Israel. The term "Zionism" needs to be better defined and perhaps narrowe

Re: [marxmail] The US ban on Chinese EV's

"'Overcapacity' is not always dumping," Marv tells us. Scare quote aside, he doesn't give us his idea of what constitutes dumping. No matter. It is clear from the facts that China pursues mercantilism: the building of industry capacity beyond what the domestic buyers can buy, intending to export
