RE: There are no terrorists in iraq except for the USuk Axis soldiers



The resistance in WWII was mainly, dare I say, marxist?

Neither the guerillas in france, Italy, greece, nor Tito in Yugoslavia,
objected to a bit of imperial aid - just as Mao did not object to Chiang-Kai
Shek (spelling?).

I think this tactic is discussed by lenin, trotsky and probably Mao - indeed it
is mentioned by Marx when referring to tacts to be used when working together
with bourgeoise reformists.

I know you wish references, so i will have to search, but i believe that you
are already aware of this approach.

My post was cross posted to several lists and I mentioned specifically De
Gaulle and Churchill for precisely those posters who may not be Marxist, but
just a bit "progressive" and who may have needed a bit of legitimation from
people as right-wing as Bush and Rumsfeld in order to make the brave step of
seeing the "terrorists" in the same light as some on THIS list see U.S.
soldiers.

...thinking as i go along...

Indeed I think the tactic of conniving with reactionaries has something to do
with continuing the revolution after the "patriotic" war has been won - just as
Mao did.
