Here Come the Cranks
One of the very first things I learned about radical politics (thank you *Class War*!) is that your enemy's enemy isn't necessarily your friend. This always comes to mind when Russia is in the news because, in a pathetic echo of the Cold War official CPGB apologias of the old Soviet Union, we find people happy to go to great lengths to prettify or explain away the activities of the Russian state. The naming of two Russian suspects for the poisoning of the Skripals is one of those occasions. Cast your minds back to March-April time. As Sergei and Yulia Skripal lay ill in hospital, t... more »

'Steady State' Or Deep State? New York Times' Hate-Driven Coup

Presented as a heroic "resistance" from within, many see it as the work of a dangerous and undemocratic "deep state."
