I believe there is a fetishization aspect of these western leftist human safari tours to authoritarian regimes that should not be overlooked. From Venezuela, Iran to now Cuba, western leftists enter these spaces in a privileged bubble, often staying in luxury hotels while being chauffeured around by government minders who only show the best of the country and introduce them to locals who perform an existence the regime wants to showcase. To the western leftist, this only reinforces their already held ideological fantasies of what an “anti-Western or anti-imperialist” utopia is supposed to be, while simultaneously erasing the reality of everyday repression and hardship (something that has been well documented for years). This trip has nothing to do with solidarity or standing with the oppressed, it is simply leftist fantasy play.

Iran is proving that violence does work, actually.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: More fake news about my attitude towards Christians, who are protected and flourish in Israel. Let me be clear: I did not denigrate Jesus Christ at my news conference this evening.

Poverty is expensive in a way that people don’t understand. If you can’t afford a dentist you have long term teeth damage. Not affording healthy food means poor health. Not affording ‘good schools’ means missed opportunities. It is a compounding cycle.
