The core problem is this, he doesn’t practice principled anti-imperialism. He practices inversionism: if the U.S. supports something, he reflexively takes the opposite side, no matter how brutal that side is, no matter the evidence.

Shocking. Carmen Lau, a Hong Kong activist and target of letters pressuring her neighbors to hand her over to Chinese authorities, was formally asked by UK police to agree to avoid protests and stop any behavior that could put her “at risk”—so self-censor. That’s how transnational repression wins.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.
