Earlier this week, the Polish parliamentary progressive left party, Razem, issued a statement in which they announce that they are cutting ties with two European organisations: Progressive International and DiEM25.
Interesting read.
Holy hell, that was a massive roller coaster of an article.
I am not from the west. I am from Syria. Admittedly, I am not an anarchist, but I do have great respect for anarchists. I have massive disagreements with this article.
First of all, this person is arguing against a non-existent issue. The west overwhelmingly supports NATO and its expansion. The west overwhelmingly supports “fighting Russia”. The west overwhelmingly hates China, Mao, Stalin, Assad, etc. And yes, this also includes the majority of the Western left. I am not saying that the opposite of these things is what’s right. But the article is mis-representing the Western left.
To my Western leftist friends: please do not listen to this article. Please do not support your governments intervening in our affairs. As a leftist, regardless of what kind, your top priority concerning international issues should be pushing your government towards non-interventionism.

we are already in a non-interventionist world order
that just pushes powerful governments of any political form to do shady backdoor deals with corrupt officials and dictators and all sorts of other covert or not so covert power projection through alternative means.
That is interventionism. At least a form of it. By interventionism, I don’t mean outright war with American troops. I mean any intervention. It never benefits us.

Not just leftists. The left and right both have been westsplaining the non-western world for ages. It’s just this time they got caught flat-footed by people who can smack them down for it.
If you think the West is bad at explaining things, wait until you see eastern explanations…
