A key reason the US left has accomplished very little is because many "leftists" eagerly lap up CIA disinfo against Official Enemies, believing whatever propaganda the US govt/corporate media feed them on China, Russia, Syria, etc.

They eat up counterinsurgency psyops like candy

The far-right US rogue state is one of the most fascistic regimes on Earth, with actual concentration camps

But a lot of US "leftists" show their chauvinism by believing any CIA disinfo on China

They're buying into the new cold war, which will destroy (what's left of) the left

One of the key reasons for this is many US "leftists" care more about being accepted by mainstream liberals than they do with actually challenging imperialism

But the new cold war they're playing into will unleash a new vicious campaign of McCarthyism that will turn against them

Some of the most eager supporters of the US Red Scares were "leftists" who hated the USSR and allied with the right against communists... but ultimately became the next victims.

Today there are many similar leftists who hate China more than US imperialism, and play the same role

The new US cold war is the worst thing possible for the planet, not to mention the left.

Anyone who amplifies US govt disinformation about China is, unwittingly or not, helping fuel that new cold war.

You can't be neutral on a moving train. And this train is hurtling toward war
