Why was Hitler so well treated by the Western media for so long, even after war was declared by the allies in 1939? Why did so many powerful and rich people in France and Great Britain and the US had a warm opinion of both Hitler and Mussolini? Class interest explans it all, suggests Parenti.

MIKE FAULKNER: Musings on the state of the Left, Marxian dogmatism, and the meanderings of history
37 minutes readMIKE FAULKNER—What was particularly disturbing was the way in which most of those who regarded themselves as Marxist-Leninists made no attempt to apply Marxism in any meaningful way to what was happening. They seemed happy to accept whatever issued from Beijing as the truth. In fact, a prominent member of the editorial board of a publication with which I was connected told me that he thought it was our job to be clear about what the Chinese were saying and to repeat it in language more suited to an English readership. They often acted more like followers of a religious faith, accepting edicts from an infallible priesthood. This became impossible to accept when the Chinese leadership, on the basis of what was claimed to be the application of Mao’s theory of contradiction, came to the conclusion that the principal contradiction in the world was no longer the contradiction between the peoples of the world and imperialism, led by U.S. imperialism, but rather that between the peoples of the world and what they had now come to call “Soviet-Social Imperialism”.
