can we please not pull the Tankie stuff? the Kosovo conflict was an active genocide, that the USA stopped. if you are calling it the “U.S. War on Yugoslavia” you either must assume that: genocides are good or ethno-states are good.
if your oppositional point is that one side was backed by “the capitalist west” and the other by “the totally socialist/communist guys really I swear former soviets” then I can only see you as a fascist supporter, because that’s all what the former USSR nations ended up being, Oligarchical fascists, and only some of them have been able to at least cast off that plague on humanity.
I recommend listening to the speech first. This is Michael Parenti discussing how the US utilized economic warfare against Yugoslavia to cause the country to destabilize into nationalist right wing reactionary movements.
ya, no I have had to look into this stuff way too much and can tell you it’s BS, the ethnic tensions were brewing long before it became unstable, but i recommend you look into some actually historic accounts and motivations instead of following a tanky’s word
I’ve listened to this speech several times. This doesn’t discuss what happened in Yugoslavia after the collapse, at all. Parenti is one of the most prominent and published communists in the 21th century. This isn’t just some uneducated slop.
