Yesterday's rally against the Trump administration in Washington, D.C., a vast and confused hodgepodge of liberal groups, snuck in one notable "progressive" demand: that Trump take his hands off NATO.
Since its founding, NATO has served as a belligerent enforcer of Western hegemony, one which fuels militarization, enforces neocolonial domination, and provokes global conflicts—from Yugoslavia to Ukraine—while serving arms dealers and empire.
Its post-Cold War expansion encircled Russia, violating past promises, and its illegal wars under "humanitarian" pretenses have devastated nations like Libya and Afghanistan.
Even if he wanted to, the figurehead Donald Trump would never be allowed to put his hands on NATO.
I also have to wonder, because this otherwise seems like a pretty ok protest, who snuck in the "NATO" part here, since in some other posters for this event it was actually not included:
I think this is misunderstood, but I would have to look into it but I dont ave time. The logo in the bottom is from the revolution report (https://www.youtube.com/@TheRevolutionReport1917), saying they are liberals is beyond me, just look at their content
You are misunderstanding. This post is a repost from the Revolution Report. They are the ones pointing out the presence of pro-NATO elements in this protest.
oh, sry im stupid haha
No, i should have made that clearer in the post.
also it is important to be united in a protest, even more in this situation, it is the action that counts in this moment not the ideology, that can come afterwards. if people like mao had an attitude like this for example he would have never joined the united front against a common enemy
