      By Stephen Gowans The United States has a new strategy for Syria, according to The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal . The new direction, however, is simply the old, largely unrecognized, one, transformed from a de facto status to official one by presidential authorization.
    8. Book Review: Washington’s Long War on Syria, by Stephen ...

      https://zeroanthropology.net/2018/05/10/book-review-washingtons...
      Or is NATO instead an imperialist coalition with designs that far exceed the naĂŻve “human rights” and “democracy promotion” concerns of the liberal-left-anarchist continuum? Reading Stephen Gowans’ Washington’s Long War on Syria is a great way to address these and other questions that the author both asks, and answers.

      [November 3, 2004] Stephen Gowans, whose articles can be found at Counterpunch, Media Monitors, etc., and his own web site, "What's Left?" possesses the heart and soul of the traditional political Left.
    10. An Interview with Stephen Gowans - Sympatico

      www3.sympatico.ca/sr.gowans/interview.html
      Stephen: Capitalism has proved to be far more durable than the original Marxists supposed it would ever be, but why should we suppose it's here to stay and that we can't do better? Indeed, we have done better. Look at Cuba. Look at the former Soviet Union. Look at China before 1979.

      https://gowans.wordpress.com/2013/12/23/seven-myths-about-the-ussr
      Dec 23, 2013 · If you really want to “go forward” you’d start by congratulating Gowans on chipping away at precisely the kind of demonstrable lies about the USSR that hold the Marxist left back. Unfortunately, most of that “left” are so thoroughly indoctrinated by the religion of anti-communism that when they read an article like this one, which proves how wrong they are, their head explodes.

      Apparently, the US Left has yet to figure out that Washington doesn’t try to overthrow neoliberals. If Syrian President Bashar al-Assad were a devotee of the Washington Consensus–as Counterpunch’s Eric Draitser seems to believe–the United States government …

      After Berlin fell, the US took over where the Nazis had left off, salvaging assets from the ruins of what the Nazis left behind, to continue the fight against Communism. Washington quickly allied itself with Germany, Italy and Spain, subordinating those parts of Europe the Soviets couldn't control, while scouring the ranks of the defeated Nazis for engineers, technicians, scientists and intelligence experts.
