[Marxism] Marxism] On 9/11 (was Re: conspiracy)

[David Walters <dwalters@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at least with 9/11 one can answer "Who gains?".
Why kill JFK, a super effective imperialist leader???

I've listened to the conspiracy theorists on both subjects, including
someone I'm friends with, Ralph Schoenman, who is probably the leading
conspiracy person for 9/11 in the US today. He's on every week on WBAI.
He has a huge following and people believe his stuff. I don't. There is
so little real evidence for a gov't conspiracy that until a Saint
Daniel Ellsberg graces us again with THE smoking gun, it's all just
commentary.

I think discussion around this basically irrelevant to the movement
against war, in that it's asking people to take a position on something
that can't be proved....believed, but can't be proved. It's politically
distracting since we'll always be divided on the issue and is simply
not a point that will convince people to come out in the streets to
oppose war and imperialism.
