Campism and Its Contradictions – Prime Example is British “Stop the War” Coalition – they have Irish imitators
2026 begins with very bad news from Venezuela.
Simon Pearson notes :
Stop the War’s Venezuela statement reveals what their Ukraine position should have been.
Stop the War Coalition responded within hours. Their statement, written by convenor Lindsey German, left no room for doubt:
“Trump’s bombing attack on Venezuela must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. The apparent forced removal and kidnapping of its president Maduro is a war crime.”
The statement continued:
“Only the peoples of Latin America can decide their own fate and choose their own government and should be able to do so without interference. There can be no support for US imperialism in Latin America or for the crimes of Trump.”
I agree with every word.
Some Similar Reactions :
“all those who vociferously condemn the US actions, and who protest against it, should be equally vociferous in their condemnation of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Unfortunately far too many on the left don’t apply that logical consistency” Gregor Kerr
“Marco Rubio (US Secretary of State) is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.” Link :

“Remember this today tankies and campists, as you scramble to virtue signal opposition to what’s happening in Venezeula:
If you’ve offered justifications for Vladimir Putin invading Ukraine, you’ve created justifications for Donald Trump to invade Venezuela.” James Doyle

Well Educated People and the Profoundly Ignorant – The Team Opposing Anti-Imperialist Solidarity With Ukraine

Correcting Mandel: Why arming Ukraine is the road to peace
It’s amazing how Amerocentric Campism enables some extremely well educated people in the west – as well as many of the profoundly ignorant – to declare their positions on the Russian invasion of Ukraine (part 2) without knowing even the basics of the socio-political realities which precipitated the invasion.
Someone like Mandel has to ignore everything which has happened from Kazakhstan to Moldova, and from 1999 to 2023 – as well as Putin’s rule over the Russian people itself and how it has affected civic, minority, and labour rights – in favour of narrowing his narrative on the “causes” of the Russian invasion to what happened in the Donbas and Crimea between February 2014 and February 2022… and even then he cannot make this argument in good faith, instead following an epistemology based on ignoring easily provable factual events in favour of bald reductio-ad-NATO absurdism.
