[Marxism] Tariq Ali

[abu hartal <abuhartal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Abu Hartal opines, "Really the NATO operation in Kosova or the operations in
Afghanistan do not meet a Marxist definition of imperialism. The idea that
these operations were needed to protect pipelines is not convincing to me."

If YOUR "Marxist" definition of imperialism is so off-the-wall that you
don't even consider the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan by the
world's leading imperialist nation to be imperialist, then I would suggest
you need to re-examine your definition to bring it into line with reality. 

"Obama is the only candidate saying ..." is a dead giveaway that you're not
looking at things in a materialist, Marxist way. 

Joaquín

What is YOUR definition of imperialism? Political domination for and through 
export of capital? Do you think that is what is happening in Kosova or for 
god's sake Afghanistan?
Really are people here really as crazy as you seem? No wonder Marx said he was 
not a Marxist.The one material fact at play here is the mass opposition to the 
three trillion dollar war which has made Obama a viable candidate.
