[Marxism] the low point of the CNN-You Tube debate

[Jscotlive@xxxxxxx]

Look, the most effective sector of the antiwar movement addressing this  
question is "Military Families Against the War" that Stan Goff, whose  
anti-imperialist credentials are impeccable, helped to form. This is  
from their website:

Look, as Marxists our primary concern must be based on what is best  for the 
international working class, which implies the defeat of Coalition  forces and 
victory for the Iraqi, Afghan, and Palestinian resistance. Stan Goff  is not 
God, neither are you Louis (sorry to burst your bubble), and this  orthodox 
Marxism simply won't do. It smack of intellectual  laziness.
 
Once again, I do not support either the US or British troops serving in the  
Middle East. I support the resistance.  
 
At the height of the Vietnam War the left wing of the antiwar movement  
called explicitly for victory to the NLF. The troops then were not supported at 
 
home, which undoubtedly contributed to their demoralisation in the field. This  
pandering to the liberal wing of the antiwar movement today has only ensured 
the  complete collapse and defeat of the antiwar movement in both the US and 
UK. 
 
As for credentials, check out the following articles recently published by  
me. I ain't no fool.
