Not sure where to post this so hoping here is fine.
A bit disappointed in BTN for calling Dugin “a very esteemed Russian political philosopher”…
Just yesterday learned Rainer Shea is now collaborating with Caleb Maupin which was really disappointing cause Shea had some good anti-imperialist articles.
I really didn’t need to hear this on BTN. Not sure what answers I’m looking for, I guess I’m getting paranoid about third positionist infiltration and need to hear your thoughts.
It’s either benign ignorance or a potentially problematic take. In any case… While they have a lot of decent stuff, they are not explicitly Marxist, thus the critical eye must be even more vigilant.
I can’t think of any better channel on current affairs though. First thought is OK, can you recommend anything else?
Also I seriously doubt BTN staff who discuss Russian and Ukrainian affairs don’t know who Dugin is, so I guess we can safely say it’s not ignorance.
I recommend Geopolitical Economy Report.
Edit: Just remembered there is also People’s Dispatch, whose articles I sometimes read, but they also have a YouTube channel. I haven’t really watched their videos though. Maybe someone else can comment further about it.
Thank you!
