Dissecting Russian Interference and Domestic Activism

This chapter explores the implications of a superseding indictment alleging Russian covert operations to influence U.S. politics, particularly through activism linked to the African People's Socialist Party. The discussion critiques the historical narrative surrounding American dissenters labeled as foreign agents and examines how such labeling serves to delegitimize genuine activism against imperialism and colonialism. Drawing parallels to past political climates, it highlights the ongoing tensions between truth, dissent, and government narratives, particularly concerning U.S. foreign policy on Russia and Ukraine.
