I think we meant that the sanctions are just words, as the business as well as relations continues. And that Germany can’t agree on trade sanctions vs Russia as they are hooked on Russian gas pipes. If Russia gets irritated, they may get “technical” problems with there pipes.. ..or bluntly make there own sanctions on gas bound for EU. Then we better hope for global warming, or it will be v cold winters..

Not sure it will work like that at all. US want Russia to do its bidding so whatever it does, it will lose.
US is threatening to replace Russian supplies and cut them out. Not sure if they can, but it's a lot of revenue for US business if they do, and a crippling loss of revenue for Russia. Alternately, if Russia successfully starves Europe of energy, that's "economic/energy blackmail" and another pretext for war.
Sanctions are not just words, don't be fooled. The US is out to destroy the RF. It will ratchet up pressure until Russia obeys its will or is weak enough to attack and dismember.
...here are a few that contributed up to and including 1945
SKF of Philadelphia
Standard Oil refuelling U Boats caught by the US coast Guard in 1943
IG Farben Owned By standard oil which was owned By prescott Bush and the Rockerfellers
Du Pont
IBM
ITT owned 51% of Fokker Wolf up to 1945
Coco Cola they developed Fanta in Germany
Ford Opel in Germany owned and controlled fully by ford

Texaco
Standard Gas & Electric
The International Harvester Company
Herman Metz, a director of the Bank of Manhattan, controlled by the Warburgs.
the Rockefeller Chase Bank remained Open in Paris up to 1944 doing Business with the Nazis
Moreover, American assistance to Nazi war efforts extended into other areas.
The largest tank producers in Hitler's Germany were General Motors (controlled by the J.P. Morgan firm),Opel a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford built his Trucks up to and including 1945
the Ford A. G. subsidiary of the Ford Motor Company of Detroit. The Nazis granted tax-exempt status to Opel in 1936, to enable General Motors to expand its production facilities.
General Motors obligingly reinvested the resulting profits into German industry.
Henry Ford was decorated by the Nazis for his services to Nazism. with the "Grand cross of the German Eagle" which was never handed Back
Alcoa and Dow Chemical worked closely with Nazi industry with numerous transfers of their domestic U.S. technology. Bendix Aviation, in which the J.P. Morgan-controlled General Motors firm had a major stock interest, supplied Siemens & Halske A. G. in Germany with data on automatic pilots and aircraft instruments. As late as 1940, in the "unofficial war," Bendix Aviation supplied complete technical data to Robert Bosch for aircraft and diesel engine starters and received royalty payments in return.
all this is proven facts in any document when you reaserch trading with the Enemy WW2
Ukrainian-American Simon Ostrovsky was just released by pro-Russian factions. He said Ukrainian town thugs with machetes, shotguns, AK-47's had a bounty on him to capture. They blindfolded him, moved to cellar, beaten for 10 minutes, and threatened that they would kill him. Ostrovsky exposed how he found Russian Cossack soldier in Ukraine. In Crimea he said troops were professional Russian army forces with Russian license plates on trucks. East Ukraine is lawless with no professional military organization...lots of armed gangsters roaming.
Simon Ostrovsky was lucky not to be killed by the gangsters that captured him.
Oh! Oh! Isn't it just appalling? It must be stopped! Look, I'm sure these charming young girls and boys with traditional values will stop them!
"The noble acts of courage performed by liberators, rescuers, and the Righteous Among Nations remind us that we are never powerless," Obama said. "In our lives, we always have choices. In our time, this means choosing to confront bigotry and hatred in all of its forms, especially anti-Semitism."
While dj was always quick to defend US coalition forces in their sociocidal criminal thuggery in Iraq, when people take up arms to defend themselves against fascism, they are "gangsters."
The only thing that I don’t have found in his words, and it’s a key point, it’s the following: after the collapse of capitalism what we all will do? I don’t have found nothing of really concrete about “the day after” (it can be my fault, even if old marxists I knew never given me a “solution”, just a generic useless reply.).
That's right, there is no prescription in Marx's writing for "the day after" which is never concrete until it arrives. The more precise the prediction, the more specific the situation it refers to. His materialist approach precluded making prophesies for particular situations he had no way of anticipating. As you know, he analysed what was and showed how it became what is. From that, he identified the laws of of social development and that in capitalism there are insurmountable contradictions which require revolution to permit further evolution. By identifying the nature of the contradictions he was able to propose a general solution. More than that he could not do. Science is not religion.
You say “democratic control of working class”. I ask you: how? With the elections of representatives? Elections every how many years? Who decide and how decide this kind of things? Constitutions will be written? If yes from who?
Again, we cannot anticipate the exact form democratic control will take in situations we cannot anticipate, only that it is necessary to make property work for society and to regulate an economy. What we know from history is that in the moments of intense class struggle, the working class creates organs of control and organisation which can become the basis of a revolutionary government. It really would be pedantic, even counter-revolutionary should the form of democracy not conform to our preconceptions, to impose a schema of how things must be on a situation that does not yet exist.
Who decide what to produce? Again, the structure cannot be predetermined and many should be tried, to find the most efficient for the various levels of economy and local circumstances. In general, decision making must be accountable to producers and consumers and involve the broadest possible consultation.
Who assure me that the elected will not became corrupted like now? What about the role of justice courts and their neutrality? What about the "state-violence" and its use?
There are no guarantees. History doesn't give them, least of all revolutions. The historical rule is that corruption and inequality flow from generalised want. To control corruption until basic needs and a substantial number of material desires can be easily satisfied for all, representatives of a workers' state must in general be subject to recall and replacement.
No courts are neutral. So long as they are required, they enforce the laws and morality of the empowered class. So long as there are crises and emergencies, there will be a tendency towards corruption which must be countered with oversight by workers' representatives.
The state, including a workers's state, is organised violence to protect the ruling class. In so far as a workers state exists to oversee inequality it is also bourgeois and the working class needs protection and safeguards from its own state. A solution to this dilemma has not been found in the limited historical experience.
What about the free to think? Etc. Etc. I can continue for hours but I think that my position and my question is clear. Finally, all these questions have a common factor: human brain desires, also the human brain of the “working class future leaders” will desire.
Freedom to think what? Any state allows only the freedoms it can safely afford. If counter-revolutionary thought risks becoming counter-revolutionary action, it may require repression depending on the situation. If thought is repressed to the point that it stifles initiative and creativity, society becomes moribund and decays.
Material desires of individuals become anti-social where there is insufficient wealth to satisfy needs and substantial "wants". As above, the danger of corruption persists until society's productive forces alleviate its root and a socialist culture negates the individualism of bourgeois culture. I use the term negate in the Hegelian/Marxist sense of destroying form to preserve content. Marxism is not opposed to the individual and its rights, but views the individual in their relation to society.
Social democracies (that unfortunately or are dying, or exist no more) were not perfect, they were far to be perfect, just, in my opinion, good enough considering the natural “aberration” of the human race. Anyway, I’m really curious about the mechanisms of the “day after capitalism”. Thanks for your attention.
Social Democracies flourished in the post war period of nationally regulated economies. With capital locked in the nation state, it could not look abroad for higher returns when the workers went on strike for better conditions and pay. The consequent reduction of profit on capital investment, together with trade imbalances which undermined the gold backed US$ and therefore the framework of the entire arrangement, made the Thatcher/Reagan era deregulation inevitable under capitalism.
I will not go into the role of Social Democracy in maintaining capitalist social relations, that it was a form of capitalist rule based on class compromise. It is enough to point out that it could only be made to appear viable for workers in the conditions described above. Remove that and, as you say, social democracy is dead. I do not mourn its demise or that of Stalinism, another bourgeois current in the workers' movement.
On January 12, 2010, the court of appeals in Kiev opened hearings into the "fact of genocide-famine Holodomor in Ukraine in 1932–33", in May 2009 the Security Service of Ukraine had started a criminal case "in relation to the genocide in Ukraine in 1932–33". In a ruling on January 13, 2010 the court found Stalin and other Bolshevik leaders guilty of genocide against the Ukrainians. -wiki
YUSHCHENKOISM As president, Yushchenko initiated substantial government propaganda initiatives. In July 2005, he established an Institute of National Memory,assigned the archives of the former KGB (now the SBU, Sluzhba Bez- peki Ukrainy, the Ukrainian Security Service) formal propagandistic duties and supported the creation of a “Museum of Soviet Occupation”in Kyiv (Jilge, 2008: 174). Yushchenko appointed the young activist Volodymyr V’’iatrovych (b. 1977) director of the SBU archives. V’’iatrovych combined his position as government-appointed memory manager with ultra-nationalist activism; he was simultaneously director of an OUN(b) front organization, the Center for the Study for the Liberation Movement. State institutions disseminated a sanitized, edifyingly patriotic version of the history of the “Ukrainian national liberation movement,” the leaders of which were presented in iconographic form as heroic and saintly ?gures, martyrs of the nation (Rasevych, 2010; Rudling, 2011c: 26–33, 2012b).Yushchenko’s myth making had two central components. The ?rst was the presentation of the 1932–1933 famine as “the genocide of the Ukrainian nation,” a deliberate attempt to exterminate the Ukrainians which, his myth-makers claimed, resulted in the death of 10 million people in the republic.4 The other component was a heroic cult of the OUN(b), the UPA and their leaders. The “memory managers” juxtaposed the genocidal Soviet rule with the self-sacri?cial heroism of the OUN-UPA, producing a teleological narrative of suffering (the famine) and resistance (the OUN-UPA) leading to redemption (independence, 1991). Curiously, Yushchenko’s legitimizing historians presented their instrumentalized use of history as “truth,” which they juxtaposed to “Soviet myths.” Wilfried Jilge, a historian at the University of Leipzig, writes that “[i]t takes place by means of discourse, rituals, and symbols and uses the past to provide legitimization and to mobilize the population for political purposes. . . . A reconstructed historical memory is created as ‘true memory’ and then contrasted with ‘false Soviet history’ ”(Jilge, 2007:104–105). Thus, Valentyn Nalyvaichenko, SBU director under Yushchenko, described the task of his agency as being to disseminate “the historical truth of the past of the Ukrainian people,” to “liberate Ukrainian history from lies and falsi?cations and to work with truthful documents only” (Jilge, 2008:179). Ignoring the OUN’s antisemitism, denying its participation in anti- Jewish violence, and overlooking its fascist ideology, Nalyvaichenko and his agency presented the OUN as democrats, pluralists, even righteous rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust (Rudling, 2011c: 26–33).
An instructive study in how "democrats" create the ideological compost for the growth of fascism. The same is true in the west Where immigrants "steal our jobs" the unemployed "steal our taxes" Roma "steal our possessions" counter-posed to "our armed forces protect us from tyranny."
Nice quote, I've heard of him. Snowden is the continuity of establishment people who still hold dear the Bill of Rights, the great triumph of capitalism in its progressive phase of development. Look how he is treated.
I too, took 300+ years of Swedish - Russian relation into the Ukraine context. Any Ukraine or Baltic state, Georgian or Finland would most definitely do the same as for what unfolds now. Knowing the historical context is important to understand the present, and making guesses or "predictions" about the future..
Oh, I forgot... Does anyone really believe Putin isn’t looking at the US/West and its foreign policy history since 1945, and especially since early 1990th...? And, that his current actions is independent of history...?
It often happens that the past persists as a ghost in new, changed situations. Here too.
While the history of the great Russian bear persists in the minds of those whose countries have endured its predations, today Russia is on the defensive against a coalition of far greater nominal strength, militarily, economically and politically. Putin knows it, everyone knows it. Yet this leader who dj insists is "shrewd" is purportedly planning an aggressive war of Russian expansion against a world that will crush Russia economically if it can't find the pretext to do so militarily. This is reality turned on its head.
Wake up from the past, this is a new situation. It does not demand support for Russian Federation but for turning our countries' planned war of aggression into revolutionary wars to overthrow capitalism.
Never has the slogan been more pertinent than in this age of mutually assured destruction.
You keep saying "10 years" but quote and speak of history that goes back 100 years. So it just doesn't make sense that you choose only to make a point about the wars the USA spearheaded in the last 10 years. I am sure you realize Russia is not innocent either but it seems your taking an overwhelmingly anti American side for your own agenda. Even by spelling it "Amerika" people will just dismiss your points as ignorant and troll bait. Your response to DJ is probably the most Fox News worthy post I have seen in years.
Not everybody who objects to US (and other) militarism has studied it to the extent of yours truly, let alone in relation to the development of economy and forms of rule. In fact, though the consistent examination of such relationships is pretty much the preserve of Marxists, opposition to capitalism and its expressions has at no point in my life been so crude and uneducated. But are your own contributions here "out of place" here because, in your own words, you "look at this situation in very simple terms"?
The contributions of Stwa, against which you raise not a murmur, are nothing but mindless provocations in a serious discussion.
What you object to or don't is telling of where you stand.
"The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) was an American think tank based in Washington, D.C. established in 1997 as a non-profit educational organization founded by William Kristol and Robert Kagan."
"He been a foreign policy advisor to several U.S. Republican presidential candidates as well as to Hillary Clinton, when she was Secretary of State under President Obama."
"Kagan is married to long-time career diplomat Victoria Nuland, who is currently serving as Assistant Secretary of European and Eurasian Affairs in the Barack Obama administration."
""We’ve invested over $5 billion to assist Ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic Ukraine.""
"Nuland was discussing with Pyatt her plans for the role of the Ukrainian opposition leaders in the country’s coming government and the crises in Ukraine. Nuland said Vitali Klitschko should not be allowed into the government because he was too inexperienced, but that the coming PM should talk to him and to Svoboda "four times per week""
You keep repeating the same [b] BOGUS conspiracy theory accusations that don't have a single shred of actual facts or real evidence. Where is the actual proof that US/EU is starting to provoke Russia? Complete rubbish. President Obama was a university student of the very same author of the book you cite as your sacred "evidence".[/b]
By the way - Neither true Capitalism nor Socialism exist any where in the world. Not a single nation has this as their exclusive form of ideology. Every nation has a hybrid. If any nation tried to have a purity test by eliminating one of the other, it would cease to exist. Some form of capitalism and socialism must co-exist. All the Partisan fringes love to accuse either of other of being puppets for Nazi's or Commies...then our Politicians love to label Social Programmes as Socialism or Communism is just Partisan grandstanding.
Lenin emphasised the need to explain patiently to the working class, but although dj is not working class, I'll try to follow Lenin's example.

Complete rubbish. President Obama was a university student of the very same author of the book you cite as your sacred "evidence".
Thank you, in your efforts to rubbish my "conspiracy theory" you only furnish another strand of information to confirm it. Your assertion that Obama was a student of Zbigniew Brzezinski is most probably true, didn't know that, I didn't know the connection was so direct. The interviewee in this article even asserts he was "recruited" by him while studying politics at Columbia. http://www.deepjournal.com/p/7/a/en/1497.html
Now, if you do not understand the significance of Victoria Newland's statements I refer you to, if you do not understand that these provide conclusive proof of illegal regime change efforts down to directly determining who will occupy which position, also that neo-Nazis were to be included in the new framework of power, you really are beyond help. Perhaps you are confused by the connection of Newland to Robert Kagan. Let me explain. The detail of her "intimate" connection to the "Project for the New American Century" (PfaNAC), is, like Obama studying under Brzezinski, just icing on a cake which would be almost as tasty without it. Just as the crimes of the Nazis can be traced to Mein Kampf and the Zweites Buch, current US policy can be traced to the Grand Chessboard and the PfaNAC document; the current incumbents of the Kiev parliament can be traced to Nulands conspiracies.
In passing, I seem to recall that back in CSO days, when PftNAC was a Bush issue, rather like Michael Moore, you were all over it. Now it's Obama continuing the same policies and at a higher level, puff, the issue doesn't exist for either of you, it's a "conspiracy theory" it's aaaaaall gone away. In other words, if my memory is serving me well, like your ducu-trash idol, your objection to conspiracy to wage aggressive war was never principled but party political. Some "independent" that would make you!

You have not even found a starting point from which to approach the question. Ideology begins in the real world and in its social relations. What you regard as "socialist ideology" in capitalist economy is nothing more than a few crumbs from the table of the super rich to pacify dissent and preserve the very exploitative social relations of production that keep the poor ever poorer. You can keep it.
Any ideology that rejects the overthrow of the capitalist class and exploitation, their replacement with the democratic control of the working class over society's productive forces, is not socialist. Period.
I’m very critical to US/West/NATO actions in Arab world as well as the Ukraine..
But, I fear the Russians and what have stated to move now. I understand what Siwy say here, because for the last 300+ years, Sweden has the same experience…. If there is a problem, we just have to scratch the surface and there’s a Russian tsar [et al] popping out…
But, I do understand the Russians actions up to now, as being reactions rather than actions… But what will follow, does putin think we are to accept Baltic States to be russified to, then he will make a mistake that may take the world to WW3…?
Yes, I'm also sympathetic to Siwy989, I'd only wish Stalinist Great Russian nationalism on my worst enemies. The US/EU is exploiting half a century of "good will" it has generated in the ex-Soviet bloc but my enemy's enemy is not always my friend. This is the fate of small countries. As he also points out small nations can seldom take an independent road. That said, while a doubt many workers who backed Solidarnosc are anything less than disillusioned, the bill for NATO/EU protection has still to be paid in full.
I suspect that Poland is kept afloat more by money sent home by emigrant workers than by EU donations. In so far as its domestic economy is expanding it is because it has a relatively skilled workforce which works for much less and accepts much worse conditions than Western workers. Its growth is at the expense of higher paid workers in Germany particularly, and its taking work from countries where workers are used to better conditions represents part of the global "race to the bottom," the destruction of working class living standards won over generations of struggle in the period of nationally regulated economies.
This dynamic is mirrored here in the UK, where not just the traditional far right blame Polish workers for the need of capitalism to destroy workers pay and conditions. This need to blame a "foreign" section of workers for the systemic failure of capitalism is leading to worse conditions for immigrant workers here, including reduced access to health care and other benefits. As the "race to the bottom" continues, immigrant workers here will increasingly face victimisation and a squeeze on their already very poor pay. EU membership offers no long term solution to the problems of ex Soviet bloc workers.
Poland is in the front line of the war the US is now provoking. The US is doubtless counting on countries like Poland and the Baltic States to provide the cannon fodder in a war of attrition with the RF which will doubtless escalate to the use of tactical if not also strategic nuclear weapons.
Neither Moscow nor Washington offer the world's population a way forward. Russian nationalism in the Ukraine, however working class its social base, is no solution either. The Donbas workers can only move society forward by uniting with Ukrainian speaking workers against all the oligarchs in Kiev and Moscow and for a united socialist future based upon the equality of nations. The enemy of the working class is capitalism, whatever national costume it wears or language it speaks.
It all depends. For my country (Poland) it will be the best to dissolve as much Russian power as can be done, just like fall of the Soviet Union. Russian politicians will be finding more and more excuses for regeining influences they have lost since 1991. No hard feelings to users from Russian Federation- it's just politics.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire. You are now slaves to the EU and will doubtless be counted upon to provide the cannon fodder in the coming war 'cos not enough people in the West will fight. Very few I'd bet.

Once again, evading mention of the overt aggression of US/EU imperialism which has created and continues to drive this situation..
Why would I need to mention it? The reality now is the Ukraine is getting pieced up and added to Russia.
No, the reality is that a neo-Nazi led coup has been prepared and executed by US/EU imperialism as part of a strategic aim to dismember and destroy the Russian Federation. You wouldn't want to mention US/EU aggression because it doesn't suit your false narrative.
Siet you're making no sense man. Just admit that Putin has an imperialist regime of his own - not even remotely close to the Socialist utopia you desire.
So you think the journalists were detained because they are fascist spies? Or let me guess it was a conspiracy by the media to make believe journalists were detained.
Now Putin is offering citizenship to anyone in former USSR. Much like what the Imperial Romans did.
Your head is scrambled with imperialist propaganda.
Just admit that Putin has an imperialist regime of his own No, Putin is a capitalist leader of a country which is too economically retarded to have arrived at imperialism in the Marxist sense of the term, that is, one in which finance capital has achieved primacy over all other forms of capital, has saturated the domestic economy at the current productive technology, and is driven therefore to invest abroad in the search for profit. This process puts the competing capital of imperialist nations at odds with one another and led to the last century's world war part 1 and 2.
Therefore,
[and is] not even remotely close to the Socialis[m] you desire
Show me anywhere in the text of my posts where I say, imply or insinuate in any way that Putin and the Russian Federation are socialist? No you can't, and you say I do either because you don't bother to read them or you are too stupid to understand them. But please, be my guest and read them to verify my assertion. I haven't a pro RF of Putin cell in my body.
So you think the journalists were detained because they are fascist spies?
I don't know why the journalists were detained but in the current situation I can certainly think of a number of reasons why they might by strung up or shot. The crap you and your kind come out with is just one. Detention seems quite restrained, really, when you see how Goebbels Inc. is burying the truth and distorting what is happening in Ukraine.
Or let me guess it was a conspiracy by the media to make believe journalists were detained.
One possibility, but not high on my list.
Now Putin is offering citizenship to anyone in former USSR. Much like what the Imperial Romans did.
Another load of horse. Putin is making it easier for Russian speaking citizens and stateless people from places like Ukraine to live in the Russian Federation and become citizens. In other words, he's telling them "don't drag us into the war the US/EU is provoking, if you fear persecution come and live in RF." He's desperately looking for a way out.
Russia will respond if its interests in Ukraine are attacked, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said, drawing a parallel with the 2008 Georgian war.
And these interests would be.........
Anything Russia is interested in!
What's stands out in your posts is your absolute fixation on alleged aggressive Russian interests and complete lack of interest in what the US/EU are doing. This is the agenda of the pro-imperialist media as I pointed out in my first post here. It is part of a thread in which the criminal machinations of the US/EU and their neo-Nazi proxies have been documented and evidenced. You have a no point attempted to address let alone refute this evidence but continue casting aspersions as to Russia's expansionist aims. In fact, you dismiss incontrovertible fact as "conspiracy theory" naturally without evidencing your assertion.
Clearly, then,you only have eyes for what you want to see and the agenda you choose to follow. Such people are impossible to engage with in a logical argument.
Finally the truth is revealed how Russia has sent people to instigate trouble in Ukraine. Now Russia is detaining reporters after investigative journalists exposed the fraud of government:
SLAVYANSK, Ukraine, April 22 (UPI) -- An American journalist was one of six detained by unidentified authorities in the city of Slavyansk, in eastern Ukraine. The five other journalists were released after they were detained Monday night, but Simon Ostrovsky, a writer and producer for Vice News Network, remained in custody. No details of his condition were available.
Vice News is headquartered in Brooklyn, N.Y., and has about 25 offices worldwide. Ostrovsky has been in Ukraine throughout the crisis there, reporting on Russia's annexation of Crimea. He was born in Ukraine.
I would be surprised if there weren't both Russian and US special forces in Ukraine, we know the CIA director visited Kiev last week. Who's driving the Crisis? The US and its puppets.
Anyone taken in by the photos "endorsed" by the White House is a thick as poo.
Ultra-Nationalism = Fascism especially when the Government claims "oppression" of ethnic minorities in neighboring nations. How quick we are to forget the past. Neo-Nazism, Right-Wing Partisans, Ultra-Nationalists & "Anti-Government" militia groups are a WORLDWIDE problem. That's rich everyone is blaming America. As far as the anti-Jewish propaganda, that too was probably the work of ultra-nationalists aka fascists. Yet they blame America for being the fascist.
If ultra-nationalism really = fascism, it does not need any qualification, "especially" or otherwise. But ultra-nationalism is not fascism, but a feature of numerous political and social phenomena, including fascism. What exactly he has forgotten from "the past" is unclear given the royal we, are not entirely sure what he knew in the first place. What the royal we is sure of, is that neo-Nazi militia in Ukraine, forget the rest of the world for a minute, are as influential as they are to day, in large part due to US funding and other support.
Someone tell that to Secretary of State John Kerry, he had blamed the insurgents for the forged anti-Semitic leaflets almost before they were off the printing press. But let's not say of which country Kerry is Secretary of State, that's just beneath us. In our naive yet morally superior wisdom, we all know that the world's just a bad place, but it will be better for a good dose of Liberty and Democracy forced upon it by neo-Nazi militia, illegal regime changes and putsches designed and funded by the free world. Every little bit helps!
