Image is of Donald Trump, Paul Kagame, and Felix Tshisekedi signing a peace deal in Washington DC on December 4th.

On December 4th, Rwanda’s Paul Kagame and the DRC’s Felix Tshisekedi signed the Washington Accords for Peace and Prosperity (pictured above). Trump boasted that he was settling a war that had gone on for decades, and remarked, idiosyncratically, “[…] and now they’re going to spend a lot of time hugging, holding hands […]”

A few days later, the M23 militia (backed by Rwanda) advanced into Uvira, a city near the DRC’s eastern border with Burundi and a major commercial and strategic location in the region. Burundi, although a small country, is a significant ally to the DRC and has sent thousands of soldiers to aid them during conflicts; this offensive by M23 aims to cut off a direct route between the two, though they do still share quite a long border over Lake Tanganyika. Tens of thousands of civilians (possibly up to 200,000) fled as M23 approached.

Signed almost simultaneously with the Accords was a Strategic Partnership Agreement between the DRC and the United States, which effectively threw open its critical minerals in the east to American exploitation. These minerals include tin, tungsten, and tantalum, which is vital for many industries. The irony is that M23 has been taking territory in the eastern DRC in order to transport these very minerals to Rwanda and onwards to global supply chains. Signing the Accord was, therefore, a remarkably pointless endeavour for everybody involved. Burundi and the DRC have complained, calling for sanctions on Rwanda, and appeasing to Trump’s pride, calling this a “slap in the face to the United States”, though I doubt the US is ultimately all that bothered about it one way or another.

    By the most conservative counts more than 70000 people have been murdered by Israel in Gaza since October 7, 2023. That works out to an average of about 90 people killed every day for 800 days. In other words, Israel has committed 6 Bondi Beaches every single day for more than two years.

    And that’s with the most conservative count of how many people have been killed.

    Victor Grossman died in Berlin yesterday at age 97. He was one of a handful of humans who grew up in capitalism in America as Stephen Wechsler, escaped to socialism in the GDR, and then was forced to submit to capitalism in united Germany again.

    From Junge Welt:

    spoiler

    Victor Grossman has died. The journalist, author, and translator passed away on Wednesday in Berlin at the age of 97. This was reported by junge Welt, citing his family. Grossman was born Stephen Wechsler in New York City in 1928. As a teenager, he joined the youth organization of the Communist Party of the USA in 1942 and, while studying at Harvard, also joined the party itself. While serving as a US soldier stationed in Bavaria, he deserted in 1952 after receiving a summons to appear before the military tribunal in Nuremberg. Because he had not disclosed his Communist Party membership, he faced imprisonment. Near Linz, he swam across the Danube to reach the Soviet occupation zone of Austria. From there, he went to the young GDR, where, on the advice of a Soviet officer, he adopted the name Victor Grossman.

    Grossman studied journalism in Leipzig between 1954 and 1958, subsequently working in Berlin as an editor and proofreader, where he established the Paul Robeson Archive at the Academy of Arts. From 1968 onward, he worked as a freelance writer, translator, and public speaker. He recognized the decline of the GDR early on and, as he stated in a 2023 jW interview, was “despairing” of it. After 1990, he joined the PDS (Party of Democratic Socialism), remained active in publishing, and took an active part in political life well into old age. An obituary will follow.

    If you want to read the obituary from the same source:

    spoiler

    When you joined the Army, you had to sign a list. It contained about 25 organizations, and by signing, you confirmed that you weren’t a member of any of them, Victor Grossman told us when we spent three hours talking about his life in his apartment on Karl-Marx-Allee in Berlin, which he had moved into in 1961, in 2023, just before his 95th birthday. “I was definitely in a dozen,” he said, smiling, with the strong American accent he still used to speak the language of the country he had come to in 1952, even after more than seven decades.

    Why hadn’t he simply disclosed his membership when he was drafted? “Because I was afraid,” he said without hesitation. In the US, since 1950, every member of the Communist Party or an affiliated organization had to register individually as a “foreign agent.” Failure to do so could result in severe prison sentences. Victor hadn’t done it. Much later, he met a comrade who had refused to sign the list back then. After some time, he had been “dishonorably” discharged, but without punishment. The price: He ended up on a blacklist that was kept everywhere he applied for jobs.

    Stephen Wechsler, as Victor was then known, had signed the contract and came to Bavaria as a soldier in the US Army. The soldiers who had reported physical injuries during basic training to avoid overseas service were sent to Korea. When Victor recounted this, his horror at such cynicism was still evident.

    It only took a few months before Private Wechsler was caught in some kind of check. When he returned from leave and received a summons from the military court in Nuremberg, he immediately decided to defect. So determined, in fact, that he walked into the KPD (Communist Party of Germany) headquarters in Nuremberg in his uniform and asked the astonished comrades there – unsuccessfully, of course – to smuggle him into East Germany. Determination and resolve were Victor’s most striking qualities.

    When I gave him the edited interview to review, he wasn’t satisfied with one aspect: the day he swam across the Danube in Linz had been the most important day of his life—and now it was only mentioned in one sentence. Given the sheer volume of material, this was unavoidable, but the criticism was certainly justified. As he swam across the river, Stephen Wechsler became Victor Grossman. The 24-year-old deserter had been advised to change his name for security reasons by a Soviet officer.

    That’s how he came to the young GDR. He studied journalism in Leipzig and met “my Renate,” to whom he was married until her death in 2009. He worked as an editor and proofreader for the Democratic German Report and the foreign broadcasting service, and he established the Paul Robeson Archive at the Academy of Arts. However, this self-assured and direct man never got along with his superiors. He called his work as a freelance writer since 1968 “life-extending.” It was clear that, without ever accepting citizenship or joining the SED (Socialist Unity Party), he had made the GDR more “his” country than many who held office or positions there. When we talked about its decline and demise, he used words like “despair” and “bitterness.” “The party was practically gone,” he said of the second half of the 1980s.

    He joined the PDS (Party of Democratic Socialism) and became involved in anti-fascist organizations. Even in his later years, he was a familiar face at events large and small in Berlin. As the Left Party slid deeper into crisis, Victor couldn’t rest easy. The leadership, he said, only wanted to conduct politics in parliaments and governments, no longer on the streets. But it was on the streets, in concrete struggles, as the young communist had learned in the 1940s and never forgotten, that a party’s true “alive” nature became apparent. The word was important to him in this context: he longed for a “living,” militant left-wing party that spoke to people in their everyday lives—not one that merely greeted them from posters every four years just before an election. When we spoke in 2023, he said he didn’t even know if he was still listed as a member. The comrade who had always collected the dues had died.

    Victor Grossman died in Berlin on Wednesday at the age of 97. Another person has passed away who will be missed. “We did what we could,” he told me. With him, it was true.

    I only learned of him last year, though the name must have crossed my eyes before. The quote I read went something like, “in the GDR you never had to despair that you needed to find a job. You never had to worry about losing income. You have no idea how good that feeling was. […] If you didn’t like your job, they tried to find something else for you, anything you wanted to do, you could do somehow…”

    I think about that a lot. Hate my job, and just signed on for the money and because I have to pay child support. Fuck Germany, personally I think it’s more neoliberal than even the UK (by European standard I mean)

    So long, Victor…

    Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America. It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us. The illegitimate Maduro Regime is using Oil from these stolen Oil Fields to finance themselves, Drug Terrorism, Human Trafficking, Murder, and Kidnapping. For the theft of our Assets, and many other reasons, including Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking, the Venezuelan Regime has been designated a FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. Therefore, today, I am ordering A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela. The Illegal Aliens and Criminals that the Maduro Regime has sent into the United States during the weak and inept Biden Administration, are being returned to Venezuela at a rapid pace. America will not allow Criminals, Terrorists, or other Countries, to rob, threaten, or harm our Nation and, likewise, will not allow a Hostile Regime to take our Oil, Land, or any other Assets, all of which must be returned to the United States, IMMEDIATELY. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

        Very relevant because it makes seizing the tankers “legal” under international law and not piracy. I’ll explain more.

        A lot of these sanctioned tankers are running under false flags and registrations set up by sanctioned individuals and shell companies, to avoid sanctions. This is not the regular “Panamanian flagged vessel is actually owned by a company in another nation”. This is the “Panamanian flagged vessel is now operating under the Guyanese flag, set up by a sanctioned company in the Marshall Islands run by a sanctioned Ukrainian in Switzerland, without explicit Guyanese permission”. So the US will call up the nation it’s falsely registered to, said nation will avoid claiming the vessel. Thus the vessel becomes stateless. (The original flag it flew under before getting a falsified registration never going to claim it back, or deny a US seizure). Because it’s stateless, it’s not technically piracy to seize it.

    “Expanding Domestic Demand Is a Strategic Choice”

    Even stronger political signaling from Xi Jinping on the urgency of fixing China’s consumption + domestic demand shortfall problem. In a new Qiushi article published today titled “Expanding Domestic Demand Is a Strategic Choice,” Xi elevates weak domestic demand to a core issue of economic stability and security, making clear that the pivot toward domestic demand is no longer optional. The piece is very direct in identifying insufficient domestic demand as the most pressing problem facing the economy and calls for moving faster to close the consumption gap so domestic demand can become the main engine and anchor of growth: 扩大内需既关系经济稳定，也关系经济安全，不是权宜之计，而是战略之举… 要加快补上内需特别是消费短板，使内需成为拉动经济增长的主动力和稳定锚…

    Xi then argues that the real advantage of a big economy like China lies in its ability in domestic circulation, stressing that stronger domestic demand does not contradict opening up but instead strengthens China’s position in global competition: 大国经济的优势就是内部可循环… 要牢牢把握扩大内需这一战略基点… 更多依托国内市场实现良性循环 扩大内需和扩大开放并不矛盾… 国内循环越顺畅，越能形成对全球资源要素的引力场，越有利于构建新发展格局，越有利于形成参与国际竞争和合作新优势

    The article then puts particular weight on consumption, emphasizing that boosting demand ultimately depends on: employment, social security, and redistribution, especially expanding the middle-income group so households both can spend and feel secure enough to do so: 扩大消费最根本的是促进就业，完善社保，优化收入分配结构，扩大中等收入群体，扎实推进共同富裕。 要建立和完善扩大居民消费的长效机制，使居民有稳定收入能消费、没有后顾之忧敢消费、消费环境优获得感强愿消费

    Then Xi calls for more disciplined** investment, prioritizing new infrastructure, high-tech manufacturing, strategic emerging industries, reviving private investment, etc. 要完善扩大投资机制，拓展有效投资空间，适度超前部署新型基础设施建设，扩大高技术产业和战略性新兴产业投资，持续激发民间投资活力

    One thing to note: the piece links domestic demand with supply-side reform, arguing that higher-quality, more self-reliant supply must not only meet existing demand but also actively create new demand, etc. So the near-term policy levers are still likely to be on the supply side.

      Sorry didn’t see your tagging. As I said this is a very well known issue, the government surely understands it. They have all the experts working on the problems after all. The question is what is the solution to the problem? And the answer depends on which “school” of economics they are coming from.

      My position is this: I believe that supply-side reform is treating the symptom, the root cause of the disease is wealth inequality. And the solution I propose is full employment through government deficit spending, provide social security and perhaps the hardest of all, wealth redistribution.

    🚨Urgent: MintPress is being financially censored by Indiegogo who is refusing to provide us with our $50,000 payout for our fundraiser:
    https://xcancel.com/MintPressNews/status/2000673878603882702

    Dear supporters,

    Indiegogo has cancelled our fundraising campaign and will not provide us with our $51,000 payout that we raised through the fundraising platform for our campaign: Help Keep MintPress Alive.

    Their reason: our project did not meet their guidelines.

    This is an unacceptable reasoning that we were provided with only today, nearly three months after our campaign ended in October.

    I have been trying to get our payout from Indiegogo since the campaign ended.

    In addition, MintPress has used Indiegogo to raise funds to support our independent journalism projects for nearly a decade.

    Indiegogo did say that all donations will be refunded back to donors.

    But why now?

    We don’t know for sure, however, we suspect that this is part of a coordinated financial attack against MintPress as we were also recently banned from GoFundMe and Paypal for our journalism that exposes the architects of the forever war machine.

    In the last year alone, MintPress News has exposed a network of Israeli spies from Unit 8200 working within big tech & media.

    Our independent investigative journalism has been at the forefront of exposing the architects of the US forever war machine and Zionist influence over our political system and national security state.

    We believe this is a coordinated attack against dissenting journalism that holds the military elite accountable that keep endless wars possible.

    MintPress will not back down and ask ask that you stand with us.

    MintPress is 100% reader supported and we are STILL AT RISK OF SHUTTING DOWN due to being financially targeted unless we meet our fundraising goals.

    We need your support NOW more than ever.

    We thank you for standing with us to support our 14 year long legacy of providing independent watchdog journalism and helping us push back against this censorship.

    We are organizing and planning the steps we need to take against Indiegogo .

    In the meantime we hope you will help us raise awareness against the sanctions regime that is targeting its own citizens and our protected right of journalism.
