Editor's Note: We apologise for the frustration of many readers who justifiably wanted to watch and hear Joti and Garland discuss the announced topics. It is without a doubt one of Joti's best ever analyses of the global situation, with plenty of historical context to make events fully comprehensible. Problem is, we are under attack. And last night, as soon as we put this post up it was hacked, making it impossible for us to display the video. It took more than 12 hours of tinkering with the code to fix the problem and restore the video to its proper place. The hackers remain anonymous, but we can guess their political predilections.

IMPERIALISM: DECADENT AND DOOMED WITH JOTI BRAR - MACRON, STARMER, HARRIS - FAKE DEMOCRACY
Welcome to the Post-Democracy Era!
The post-democracy era is here. The masses got to believe they lived in democracy because they were NOT rebelling! They had been bribed to accept a social peace offered by capital and not push on with their class struggle. Now that, once again, there is growing discontent among the masses, the capitalist claws are coming back. Joti Brar explains eloquently what the current crisis is all about. What we see today is a global struggle in which the capitalist class are trying to reconquer the "decolonised nations" to again use their resources and populations to solve their system's incurable crises. PRECIS
After a historically brief postwar (WW2) period when the working class (especially in Europe) could enjoy a more tolerable standard of living thanks to the adoption of social democracy out of fear of the Soviet example— enjoying better wages, their own homes, had unemployment cushions, healthcare, free education, etc.—the inexorable capitalist crisis cycle is forcing the capitalists to roll back the "good times" with which the developed world ruling class had bought the passivity of the masses. This is inherent in capitalism which, due to its internal dynamic, always goes from boom to bust, a problem (overproduction) now magnified with the extension of capitalism to global dimensions under US imperialism and the arrival of the digital age.
The working class today in practically all capitalist countries is feeling the pain of living under totally non-representative, increasingly tyrannical oligarchies and fake democracies, a situation aggravated by a decadent set of blatantly hypocritical "civilised values" (i.e., the rise of "WOKE imperialism"), and the grotesque lies implicit in the pretend fight for human rights and against anti-semitism, that serve to muzzle free speech, protect Israel from retribution for its multitude of heinous crimes, and facilitate the deletion of democratic norms across the globe.

Unfortunately, no image with the well informed and smart Brar. The political situation within the US is getting beyond ridiculous. Mostly reflected in the propaganda mills of the media. The meritless Harris versus the despised Trump is a sign of the disintegration of the US political system, but no worse than what the Founding fathers said of each other. Keyword is the “threat to democracy”, so one wonders what is understood by that term. Revolution is not in the future nor civil war. For that the country is too well conglomerated. A slow after-empire decline like in the United Kingdom is more likely. In the interim, “Sauve qui peut”.
ALBEIT, as we can see, a far more violent decline and imperial extinction than the Brits, this time putting the world at the risk of true nuclear Armageddon. For one thing, when the British empire finally collapsed and expired, its “class fortunes” were not shared with the other capitalist upper-class centers of power in the West, most of whom waited on the wings like vultures to feast on the spoils or were fighting off their own imperialist declines. Now, it’s the global capitalist ruling class, united in self-defence against a new form of global arrangement, leading by its own logic to deeper sovereignty and more democracy, probably making the arrival of socialism in more lands far easier than under the current reactionary Hegemon.
Indeed, I stand corrected. But then with the enormous advance of communications everything goes with the speed of light (Internet). But as you write, with it comes a violent reaction to the reactionary front.
