The Don-roe Doctrine in action: Trump's gangster intervention in Venezuela : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 6/1/2026

It was clear after the release of the 2025 National Security Strategy that this administration was going to shred the inhibitions imposed by international law and opt for the more liberating costumery of gangsterism.

Hi Canem Malum,

The Monroe doctrine wasn't about giving the U.S. permission to knock over Latin American countries, it was to prevent the British and Europeans from doing so.

"Given that both China and Russia could be said to be based on unstable nihilistic authoritarian principles of Marxism suggests that regional dominance by China and Russia is invalid."

And Russia and China aren't trying to overthrow the government or colonise, BRICS is a trading block not military.

And truthfully, I'd prefer to go with BRICS lead multipolar world order than the Zionist Unipolar world order.

"I find it hard to believe that AC actually believes that authoritarian Marxism represents a superior political system to the European model in spite of it's faults"

They must be doing something right, if not we must be doing something wrong.

You might oppose marxism, but it was capitalism (or Aussies paying themselves too much) that sent all the jobs there.

Armchair Critic said "You might oppose marxism, but it was capitalism (or Aussies paying themselves too much) that sent all the jobs there."

Answer- Or maybe it was Marxist cells (Pan-Marxism) operating in Australia in a similar way to Islamic State (ISIS/ Pan-Islamism). But Pan-Marxism seemingly works under the criminal radar most of the time, in spite of other forms of corruption, unlike high profile Pan-Islamic violent actions.

Extreme left groups have a range of tactics to undermine enemy capitalist groups. Frank Kitson talks about managing low level insurgents, and the problem of isolating insurgent groups without alienating the population, and the fact that the police and enforcement are often badly equipped to deal with these tactics. Kitson makes specific mention of Marxist's and dedicates multiple chapters.

It seems that capitalist groups response to Marxist tactics has been to move business offshore, which hurts the locals, and plays into Marxist advantage. Traditionalist's wouldn't be fooled in the same way, because Traditionalist's understand, like the American Indian's, you can't eat money! Capitalist purist's sadly believe that all problems can be solved with money. As many have said Marxist's don't love the poor, they hate the rich. Nietzsche understood this too when he talked about the culture of envy. It's ok to want what others have, but you have to be willing to take responsibility for getting to that position, not deny reality, in a society wide hissy fit of hysterical envy. Ayn Rand said you can't put effect before cause, and this is what socialist's try to do (at least this is what the 'useful idiot Marxist's' do- the 'smart Marxist's' understand it's all about 'power'). The core Marxist's see power the way Capitalist's see money.

In a sense AC is right that it is the fault of the Aussies paying themselves too much, out of proportion to the benefit they provide. But some are more to blame than others- there is the unions (that don't help workers long term situation), the Marxist groups in Australia mainly Trotskyites (mainly useful idiots foolishly believing the feel good elements of Marxism),

he bureaucrats who increase red tape for their own benefit, etc.

We used to hear about the social benefits of capitalist endeavour, but this seems to have been drowned out by envyist leftist propaganda. Essentially China is a military dictatorship, posing as a house pet.

I can't help that treason must be occurring between home grown Marxist's and foreign powers, but I suppose that their is so much Marxist propaganda in our society the foreign nations can rely on this to subvert us. Bezmenov talked about these things in his Harvard address- would Bezmenov advise to ban Marxist propaganda when it advocates destroying European society in our 'open society'.

I see the battle between Marxism and Capitalism as essentially a recent evolution of the battle between East and West for all of the thousands of years of recorded history. It is a battle of ideas and political systems and cultural dominance. The battle between Traditionalist and Woke society seems to parallel the battle between The 300 Spartans and the Persian Empire- discipline vs mass nihilism.

"Perhaps Trump can take Albanese off our hands."

Well that's where you and I differ ttbn.
You had the same attitude about Assange.

I'm not too fond of Albo, especially with his immigration.
But if a foreign nation kidnapped him ad held him on made up domestic charges in a foreign country I'd be leveling untold expletive abuse at that nation.

He might be an incompetent traitorous piece of crap.
BUT HES OUR INCOMPETENT TRAITOROUS PIECE OF CRAP.

Hi AC,

The old bloke is a typical far right extremist, with that kind of comment; "Perhaps Trump can take Albanese off our hands." These old fart extremists needs to be packed up and shipped off to Trumps own private "Berghof" where he could haply lick A, of the Powerful Pedo brigade that hang out there.
