Questions for Review:
Why is it that a vote for secession of Crimea from Ukraine requires a vote of the whole of the Ukraine while the removal of an elected president requires no vote at all?
How do you have an illegal secession from an illegal coup-produced state?
How do you have “free elections” with massive amounts of foreign money pouring in to a chosen party and or to create splits among other competing parties and with senior foreign “diplomats” planning the composition and staffing of the new to-be-engineered government?
When have any socialist social formations ever threatened or constituted an “existential threat” to the imperialist states to the extent that the reverse was true from Churchill’s first statement to “strangle Bolshevism in its cradle”?
What happens in a world, or a nation, or in a small community, when some people, groups or whole systems are allowed to self-anoint/proclaim/credential/install themselves as “special”, “exceptional”, “ordained” “destined” etc to “dominate” and “lead” others, and ,in order to do so, not be bound by the same laws and principles that the “exceptional” ones assert are their own and for others to be bound by or not be bound by at their direction?
