Nobody said you can't post from anywhere you please. Just don't be surprised when you're laughed at. Marxist websites are not about educating and informing, they are about fanning collective hatred against the Great Capitalist Pig and nothing more. You won't find anything even NEUTRAL about the US on those sites. You understand that, right? It is in their interest to cast this country and our allies in the worst manner possible. You're old enough to remember the Cold War and understand Communist propaganda.

The question you should be asking is this: Where is the US press? Why do we have to go to alternative outlets -- just to inform ourselves?'

I think the real question is why do you think hostile Marxists are a more valid source than your own countrymen? Frankly, that's pretty ****ed up.

The real issue is why the US press is not doing its job. Of course we know why -- because it's owned by the large corporations/banks -- who want to keep you in the dark.
Your post shows they are succeeding.

So when I was a Marxist and reading WSWS, the ISR, Worker's World, IAC kangaroo "war crimes" court reports and Michael Parenti, I was getting the straight dope, eh?
There is no question of biases and agendas in the mainstream press, but to posit that a bunch of flaming Marxists who post things strictly from the viewpoint of Marxist class conflict theory with the intent of promoting hatred against the United States is a viable, less hostile alternative is circus-level laughable.
If you want events from a Marxist point of view, you read it. If you don't, you don't. Do you? Do you think your readers do?
