Grayzone and red-brown alliance, a thread:
Grayzone, a news publication operated by Max Blumenthal, Ben Norton, Aaron Mate, etc., pose to be leftists, yet their associations with fascist and white-washing of mass murder by authoritarian regimes needs a further look into.

To start off, here is Rania Khalek and Ben Norton showing how absolute idiots they are in explaining imperialism as:
India is not a left-wing govt
BRICS were not alternate to the global economy
Bretton Woods have been dead https://twitter.com/RaniaKhalek/status/1265358268450340865?s=20">https://twitter.com/RaniaKhal...

(if he is referring to INC, even then they were less left than the Clinton Administration

One thing to note is in Ben Norton& #39;s explanation is how he tries to promote Anti-Hegemonic states as Anti-imperialist, so before I begin on some of the deeper material, here is a thread, on a similar note of how Grayzone reproduces a colonizer framework https://twitter.com/GhostsSeeHumans/status/1262417343558238208?s=20">https://twitter.com/GhostsSee...
Now let& #39;s get deeper into Grayzone and its association with fascists: here is a column written by @areidross (In fact, @areidross and @emmibevensee does a lot of studying on Grayzone and red-brown alliance so give him a follow) https://hummusforthought.com/2018/03/16/the-multipolar-spin-how-fascists-operationalize-left-wing-resentment/">https://hummusforthought.com/2018/03/1...
