True enough. The social democrats and the Kerensky types - AOC, Ilhan Omar, etc. have already made clear their position on empire.
I dunno. It’s difficult to parse ideology anymore in this shithole. If it’s allowed to exist in the public sphere, it’s capitalist/imperialist/fascist/austere, etc. etc. Just minor differences in policy and preferred enemy.
If they, those who rule us and own us, allow someone to speak on a talk show or large podcast, or consistently publish papers in an academic journal, then whatever that person has to say, no matter radical it sounds on the surface, does not actually threaten the current system. Zizek is one example of this kind of distraction. This is what torpedoed Michael Parenti out of mainstream academia.
