Michael Karadjis, "Proxy war" not a Marxist concept? Who said it was? So if it is not a Marxist concept it should not be used in Marxist discourse? Are the full stop (period to the Yanks), comma, colon and semi-colon Marxist concepts! Lord luv a duck! You do disappoint, comrade!
My book on the Arab Spring has been available since 2018; it was even reviewed by Comrade Andrew Stewart in Counterpunch. Since that time no Marxist or non-Marxist has disputed my positions. Why is that, do you think? If you want to demolish my arguments in that book, please do so in a reputable magazine - of which there are many - and send me a copy or link and then I will demolish your arguments with all the authority which the Marxian dialectic permits. You cannot critique a whole book by making off-the-cuff ripostes on a message board. You should know better, comrade! While you're at it, please feel free to critique my theory of Communicative Violence. That is also derived from Kindergarten Dialectics! That should be a breeze for you. I have had no takers before! More grease to the elbow of Kindergarten Dialectics! I am not an apologist for Putin. He is just as capitalist as the best (or worst) of the West, so please do not conflate a dispassionate dialectical analysis with support for Putin. Disingenuous! As for someone who mentioned abuse, I can only apologise for coming from an abusive and very violent culture. You know, "we people" are built that way! Since no one will take up the gauntlet of critiquing my work in a responsible manner, I will show you how it is done. Within the week I will critique "The class conflict behind Russia’s war" by Volodymyr Ishchenko, which someone linked as an example of a "good Marxian or dialectical analysis". I will write a proper critique, post it as a video essay and send a text copy to the magazine that published the original for publication. Feel free to send me more apparently better dialectical analyses. Mr Ischenko has taken his time to research and write his essay. The least I could do if I disagree with his positions, is to do him the courtesy of mounting a comprehensive response. In a word, I will not be flippant or engage in half-baked responses or "pot-shotting".
