It shows how governments are rather powerless against Israel’s power.
Israeli power forms an intricate network of institutions comprising both public and private entities across the West, developed over a century. Those entities have generated an intricate set of technological and intelligence dependencies of the West on Israel, which cannot be quickly “uprooted” through governmental policy. This may well be the very reason for Israel’s de facto impunity (South Africa was much easier, as it lacked such a network). The powerlessness of governments means powerlessness of public opinion and action. It is crucial to acknowledge this for any chance of intensely thinking a real way out. Israel is not a nation-state. It does not possess recognisable borders. It is a different kind of beast and problem: a metastasising network drawing power all around it, taking over territory and increasing its own power.
God bless China fuck the Westerns pieces of shit with their corrupt and belligerent rulling class. Their stupid racist citizens and capitalism dick suckers are nothing more than ignorant facist. God for China and other global order. Westerns are savage ignorant fucks who still proudly they are the center of the economy or of life by imposition. Let's see if you FACISt accept a multi polar world or you destroy a world in Wich you cannot rule.
Good article Kevork, thanks for posting. The 500 reign of global empires managed from Europe and the US is coming to an end, and one can only hope a new multi-polar order will bring better stability and peace to the planet. Now if only China stops trading with Israel and contributes more to ending the Gaza genocide.
Maybe the present holds the answer to the future. They will trade with you. If you commit genocide they will still trade with you. If some commits genocide against you then they will trade with them. I’m being unfair but I’m feeling very angry,
In many respects very good (on the defeat of Japan, on indigenous innovation) but way off on the first thirty years at the end of which the World Bank had to admit that China had made ‘low-income groups far better off in terms of basic needs than their counterparts in most other poor countries’. In that era when it was embargoed by the US and eventually in conflict with the Soviet Union its population almost doubled, life expectancy increased from 35 to 68 and it grew on average at more than 6 per cent per year.
Moreover reform and opening up effectively started after Nixon's visit in 1972. The statement was let some people get rich first, and the next part was that they (people and places) must then help the rest get rich. The title of the 1979 article in People's Daily was: 'A few getting rich first and common prosperity'.
Common prosperity by the way dates from 1953 and the first generation of collective leaders.
On the new world order China will never serve as a hegemon (and the RMB will not serve as the major international currency. You need to understand that the core principle of Chinese international relations is harmony, and you should reflect on the relatively peaceful history of Asia up to the rise of capitalism and imperialism in Japan: China was at peace for some 500 years.
Hopefully the terrible conflicts that have afflicted the world ever since Europeans put guns on ships and colonised much of it (including waves of violent settler colonialism and genocide which continue to this day in West Asia) will come to an end as the relative western power of that peninsula on the western tip of Eurasia and white settled parts of the world declines.
Great article, thanks for writing it. Among all this, the thing that keeps me up at night is China’s assistance to the Global South, which threatens the West’s horrific colonial debt revenue stream.
Crucially important analysis.
