To find the role that “Israel” has in the Venezuela regime change project, and what kinds of propaganda methods Zionist intelligence centers are using against Maduro, we can look to the rightist influencer Bronze Age Pervert. Within his efforts to promote “Bronze Age” masculine traditionalism, BAP is supported by the IDF-linked geostrategic advisor Edward Luttwak, who has a direct and personal relationship with BAP. Therefore, it’s completely predictable that BAP is doing PR work for the Trump White House’s project at invading Venezuela, with BAP’s latest Venezuela post being one which calls Maduro “anti-white.”
This is how the Zionist wing within U.S. imperialism seeks to sell the genocidal aggressions against Venezuela. We know how strong the Zionist connection is to this particular foreign policy project, because Washington’s Venezuelan coup puppet Machado is fully and openly aligned with Netanyahu. The Trump White House has embraced a policy of unapologetically supporting fascists around the globe, even moreso than the United States had already been; so in its campaign to destroy Venezuela, it’s decided to rely on agents who don’t seek to distance themselves from the Gaza genocide in any way. BAP, and the propaganda strategy he represents, are how the U.S./Zionist axis have sought to sell this campaign to conservatives.
That BAP has chosen to use explicitly white nationalist rhetoric as part of his Venezuela propaganda, despite BAP historically being considered a figure who’s distinct from open white nationalism, reveals the realignment which is taking place among the different rightist psyops. In the past, Nick Fuentes has decried BAP for being too moderate, and has accused him of being a Zionist plant. Yet in these last couple months, as the Venezuela invasion has come to be underway, Fuentes has suddenly started running cover for “Israel” in key areas. Now Fuentes is increasingly being accepted by the more mainstream conservative commentators, bringing him away from many of the hardcore Hitlerites. And BAP is positioning himself as a pro-“white” voice, specifically in order to market the war on Venezuela towards the white nationalists who are abandoning Fuentes.
The only way we can effectively combat these narrative manipulations is by illustrating why “rightist” politics always end up getting assimilated into the modernist liberal order. And we can only successfully do this by applying a Marxist analysis of what’s happening to the world right now. It’s easy to point to the evidence that the far right is nothing but a tool for finance capital; the proof is right there in these transparent propaganda ploys which the “rightists” orchestrate. For us to successfully create an alternative path of radicalization, though, and bring the audiences of these figures towards Marxism, we must utilize Marxism’s full potential for gaining understanding. We must investigate the factors behind the civilizational collapse that the “collective west” is experiencing, and explain why BAP’s endorsement of the financial capitalist war machine directly advances this collapse.
BAP is as narratively effective as he is because out of all the other rightist influencers, and out of other commentators in general, he’s among the only ones to talk about the decline of the youth. Specifically the decline of the youth within the countrysides, which as BAP has observed are being drained of young people in more and more places. This issue is relevant to everyone in our generation who’s found themselves left behind by the system. At the same time that the old social bonds within the rural areas break down, and the young within these places become unable to find career opportunities or start families, today’s urban centers have been designed as streamlined environments for exploitation that lack community. It’s a lose-lose situation.
The outcome is that as the world becomes more aged, the newest generation gets shut out of the opportuniy to create the next generation. Home ownership, the ability to have a stable income, and the ability to start families are things for the ones who came before us. The foundations of the old society have been hollowed out, and we’re looking at a deep absence.
These things are relevant to the Venezuela war campaign because as our ruling elites engineer a civilizational unraveling, they’re employing pro-imperialist psyops that take advantage of this crisis. Even though BAP’s Venezuela propagandizing easily exposes him as a Zionist agent, and it has left him more isolated from antiwar people on the right, the fact that BAP speaks to this particular problem our society is facing makes him much more effective. But Marxists can become far more successful at capturing the masses than BAP is, if we put forth an explanation for this “youth drain” that’s based within a real dialectical framework.
What we need to do is present an analysis on this crisis, and a plan for action against the powers responsible for the crisis, that makes BAP’s statements about this issue look ridiculously basic and surface-level. Anyone can observe how declining wages are driving down birth rates, and how the young are being pressured into concentrating within the metropolitan centers; the only reason why BAP is somewhat unique in emphasizing these things is because our liberal hegemony steers the discourse away from such realities. What BAP can’t do is apply a rich understanding of capital to an analysis on these destructive phenomena, and thereby provide those who are experiencing our civilizational collapse with a clear path forward.
The first part of how we fight back against the engineered collapse is by gaining a new level of intelligence. An intelligence that can only come from gaining the analytical tools which Marxism provides, and thereby becoming able to gain control over history. These analytical tools do not come from treating Marxism as a religious dogma, because the true nature of Marxism is to reveal ever-more of reality through ceaseless, rigorous investigation into our conditions. Wrote Mao about this science of truth-seeking:
In social practice, the process of coming into being, developing and passing away is infinite, and so is the process of coming into being, developing and passing away in human knowledge. As man's practice which changes objective reality in accordance with given ideas, theories, plans or programmes, advances further and further, his knowledge of objective reality likewise becomes deeper and deeper. The movement of change in the world of objective reality is never-ending and so is man's cognition of truth through practice. Marxism-Leninism has in no way exhausted truth but ceaselessly opens up roads to the knowledge of truth in the course of practice. Our conclusion is the concrete, historical unity of the subjective and the objective, of theory and practice, of knowing and doing, and we are opposed to all erroneous ideologies, whether "Left" or Right, which depart from concrete history.
The Zionists are propagating a rightist ideology that’s detached from concrete knowledge, advancing finance capital’s lies under the guise of offering a path for those who’ve been left behind. It’s because BAP is a Zionist agent that his commentary on the “youth drain” is profoundly lacking, even though it would seem good in comparison to the analyses which omit this issue entirely. BAP is offering the most rudimentary kind of perspective on this problem, and passing it off as something with great depth. Real depth can only come from a practice of investigation that’s completely untethered from ideological limitations, and never stops working to deepen one’s understanding.
This is how revolutionary projects like Venezuela’s have gotten this far: by finding the methods that can free them from neo-colonialism, and forging their own path of development. It’s why though the “collective west” is in decline, the Global South is on the rise: the imperial peripheries are the first ones to start breaking from finance capital, and apply new practices which advance their development. BAP, and all other forces that depart from concrete history, are so far behind these dialectical projects that they operate within an obsolete stage of human evolution. Zionism, racialism, and all other ideologies that finance capital weaponizes represent something completely retrograde, keeping humanity trapped in a lower phase of development. The future is in those who’ve learned how to test social practice, and find the methods for throwing off finance capital’s rule.
This is how we gain a dynamic role in history when the system has tried to shut us out, and it’s how we resist the anti-human designs which our class enemies are advancing. This aggression against Venezuela must catalyze an explosion in resistance against humanity’s imperial foes, and the rise of a Marxist politics that leaves forces like BAP far behind.
