On Tuesday, Rolling Stone reached Bentley at a hotel in Donetsk for an hour-long phone interview. Bentley describes himself as an “information warrior” for the Russian side.
In the mid-1990s, Bentley made a radicalizing trip to Cuba where his socialist leanings hardened into communism. “I went with Pastors for Peace, with Medea Benjamin from Code Pink, and a bunch of those guys,” Bentley recalls. On the island, he met a captain in the Cuban army who told him that “a communist is someone that’s willing to fight for socialism.” He vowed then: “I’m going to quit being a pussy and calling myself a socialist; I am a communist.”

I’ve come to believe the left - right paradigm is just a construct (i.e., “The Hegelian Dialectic”) to keep us hating one another.
The Republican-Democrat in the U.S. and the “Allied-Axis” / “NATO-Warsaw Pact” / “ (please forgive the lack of more commonly used political-dipoles) all have bad or evil actors on both sides.
These are used by the truly evil to pit one group against another, creating and stoking hatred and distracting us from themselves and their plans and activities by having us waste our resources as they steal from both/all sides.
If that makes me an “idiot” in your eyes, I’ll wear that as a badge of honor.
