The founder of the Carter doctrine that prevails in the Middle East has died. Roosevelt and Henry Kissinger also received Peace Nobel Prize and Barrack Obama too. The alliances with the US government and Islamist jihadists is not a new phenomenon it also existed during the government of Jimmy Carter
Henry Kissinger can not visit several countries around the whole world because they have issue arrest warrants for criminal prosecutions and war provocations and he received a Nobel peace price like jimmy Carter
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2002/10/cart-o12.html. This is what a Trotskyist newspaper wrote about Jimmy Carter when he was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize
In Central America Jimmy Carter used the Israel government to arm the rightwing guerrillas fighters and provocateurs to wash his hands from us intervention in the conflicts and overthrowimg the leftwings governments. Ronald Reagan was the continuation of his international policies, like other have continued the policies of the prior administrations
As Thomas More has written in this forum several times: Why do they want to burn books when peoples are not reading them ? It is also applicable to the criminal history of Jimmy Carter, he has been portrayed as a Christian saint but that assertion is completely false because most peoples have not read the real history
Like asking why are there so many Uzi machines guns and Israel weapons spread in Central America, the answer is because Israel was used to supply weapons to all the reactionaries governments and right wings guerrillas groups of that region supported by the government of Jimmy Carter including the death squad of El Salvador, and the Nicaraguas Contras and the Colombian paramilitary
The market-libertarians (brand: Reason magazine) salute him as the pre-Reagan:

He can be categorized under the same myth of John F Kennedy, as a Catholic who defended human rights and civil rights, both allegations are false. This is what Noam Chomsky said about Ronald Reagan and JFK and it was summarized on SOYMB:
Noam Chomsky says, the Kennedy and Reagan administrations aren’t that different:
“…compare two Presidential administrations in the 1960s and the 1980s, the Kennedy administration and the Reagan administration. Now, in a sense they had a lot in common, contrary to what everyone says. Both came into office on a fraudulent denunciations of their predecessors as being wimpish and weak and letting the Russians get ahead of us–There was a fraudulent “missile gap” in the Kennedy case, a fraudulent “window of vulnerability” in the Reagan case. Both were characterized by a major escalation of the arms race, which means more international violence and increased taxpayer subsidies to advanced industry at home through military spending. Both were jingoist, both tried to whip up fear in the general population through a lot of militarist hysteria and jingoism. Both launched highly aggressive foreign policies around the world–Kennedy substantially increased the level of violence in Latin America; the plague of repression that culminated in the 1980s under Reagan was in fact largely the result of his initiatives…”Nor is the similarity restricted to foreign adventurism. Both JFK and Reagan were the tax-cutting presidents. He lowered the top rates of individual income tax and he reduced corporate tax levels. Kennedy was a boom time for the corporations with the price of the S&P Composite Index return up, about 150% between 1960 and 1965. At the same time, the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 115 points (between 18 and 19%), give or take, during JFK’s administration, reaching a high of about 735 points in 1962. corporate taxes as a percentage of corporate profits were on a decline while corporate profits after taxes were on the rise. However, personal wage and salary as a percentage of the GDP was on the decline.
Noam Chomsky commented: “…Kennedy was very pro-business. He was essentially a business candidate. His assassination had no significant effect on policy that anybody was able to detect.”
Howard Zinn wrote that after JFK presented his first budget, it was clear there “would be no major change in the distribution of income or wealth or tax advantages” and then proceeded to quote New York Times columnist James Reston, who wrote that Kennedy “agreed to a tax break for business investment in plant expansion and modernization. He is not spoiling for a fight with the Southern conservatives over civil rights. He has been urging the unions to keep wage demands down…he has been trying to reassure the business community that he does not want any cold war with them…”.https://www.historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/zinncarebu21.html.
Historian Howard Zinn on Carter, there is not difference between Ronald Reagan and himself and the following presidents such as George Bush, Bill Clinton and Obama
Carter not an object of mourning in Taiwan:

That magazine treats him a little soft, but this is what really he was :
https://www.counterpunch.org/2023/03/02/jimmy-carter-is-a-liberal-saint-now-was-a-war-criminal-then/
Carter is a liberal saint now, was a war criminal then. The bourgeois press does not mention that he also made agreement with China which cost the life of thousands of Chinese and Vietnamese. Like him, China also supported several reactionary and right wing government including the government of Augusto Pinochet based on the so called Three World Theory developed by Mao Tse Tung, and later on they denied that it was created by Mao
https://www.counterpunch.org/2024/12/30/jimmy-carter-the-false-savoir/. Jimmy Carter the false savoirhttps://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/12/31/xzke-d31.html
This is a very detailed historical description of the Carter administration. They are saying that Trumpism is a cult, but Carter is also a capitalist cult, one created by the Republicans and the other one created by the Democrats,
And we mustn’t forget the Carter Doctrine which is still the cornerstone of US policy in the Middle East to this day:
https://asiatimes.com/2023/03/the-us-cannot-afford-to-repeat-the-mistakes-of-1979/. Jimmy Carter and Ten Hsiao Ping, and supporting China military attack against Vietnam which produced thousands of deaths on both sides . The US historians have two set of books like the ex-bookkeepers of the sicilian mafia
On that occasion China did not apply the reactionary so-called Three world theory created by Mao Tse Tung, in which the USA and Russia were enemies number one, and the biggest world threat according to the Chinese leaders, the only threat was the Soviet Union .
China made alliance with many reactionaries governments around the whole world, and the Maoists were saying that the economic was socialists, and capitalist investment would not affect the economic base of the society, and workers would benefits ( it sound like Lenin state capitalism ) and it created a big division among the Maoist movement and the emerge of the so called Albanian tendency.
Now China is the biggest competitor for world hegemony against the USA, and enemy number one of the USA capitalist class, it sounds like the period before WW2 and during WW 2 in regard to Germany .
As Thomas More has said: Why burn books when people are not reading them ? That event was widely published in the Peking Review, Albania Today and Russia Today and some US newspapers. In that time we were reading books, newspapers, pamphlets, magazines and listening broadcasting in shortwave radios
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn446nmjp1vo. The main concern was not the diplomats’ ties, the main concern was to establish factories in China, and then they blamed the lack of jobs on the emigrants, that move was also done by Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton. The real replacement was done by the capitalist class.
History is a tragedy the first time, and like a farce on the second time
https://gwtoday.gwu.edu/50-years-later-richard-nixons-historic-visit-china. Richard Nixon visit to China, someone that I knew said: Mao is placing the so called Chinese revolution on the floor on a red carpet, but in reality it was a pro capitalist revolution carried on later with the so called four modernizations and the development of capitalism in China
https://www.hrw.org/legacy/campaigns/china-98/visit.htm. Bill Clinton visited China, profits first and human rights later. The character of the state did not end with one particular capitalist administration it continue its mission, It is the executive apparatus to manage the affairs of the capitalist class

Another commercial and capitalist production agreement made by Joe Biden with the Vietnamese leadership, no more talks about communist threats after thousands of human beings were killed by both sides, the article written by the Socialist Party about the Vietcong and the so called national liberation was totally correct
The capitalists know as an American state minister said about the Soviet Union: it is state capitalism, probably, they are more aware than several leftwing groups who continue claiming that Vietnam is a socialist country, but they call it market socialism, they have thrown away Marx’s Das Kapital
They have placed the Vietnamese workers on a silver plate for the western capitalists, allowing them to extract surplus value from their labor, and both sides became super rich and workers are continue living in extreme poverty and the western capitalists blame the problem on communism
Ho Chi Min was an old friend and allied of the Western capitalists, ( the same as Joseph Stalins ) therefore, it is the renovation of an old alliance with his followers known as the vietcong
All presidents are the continuators of the prior policies of other presidents and when they leave the White House they are canonized by the capitalist class and the corporate press and if they were war criminals they become humanitarians, pro-labors and defenders of human rights
