“We will explore here how dysfunction and looming chaos in U.S. bourgeois politics, and the existing and deepening global disorder, intersect and tend to magnify each other. Two genocidal wars and invasions occupy center stage — where in both Gaza and Ukraine, each day’s monstrous atrocities are exceeded by the next — impacting both the United States and the mockingly named “rules-based” international order.”
