MESOP TODAYS LETTER TO THE EDITOR BY DAVID ELLIS (UK) – THE STALINIST WESTERN LEFT & THE DROWNING OF REFUGEES

In the drowning refugees the degenerate, neo-Stalinist UK Left has found a cause worthy of it. They wail and weep and gnash their teeth and demand compassion and an end to borders. Do something they bleat but they fail to tell you that they are complicit in the crime. They opposed the Syrian Revolution, a legitimate part of the Arab Spring, against the Butcher Assad on the basis of a pseudo anti-imperialism that sees Putin, yes Putin, as a heroic `counter-hegemon’. They cheered when Congress and Parliament voted to turn their backs on the Syrian people as the tyranny and the fascist ISIS that this decision spawned hacked their way through a nation creating 7.5 million refugees in the process. They insisted that the West do nothing under these circumstances as if the West are renowned for supporting democratic revolutions in their semi-colonies. No, this `left’ are far more comfortable with drowning victims and defeated people than they are with revolution which they actively despise. www.mesop.de
