Re: [Marxism] Kick trolls off list, Please

["Dan Russell" <proletariandan@xxxxxxxxx>]

<Paua: Capital defends only its own interests. This is true of US,
Venezuelan,
Colombian and every other national capital on earth. In the present
(imperialist) period, defending those interests entails fierce competition
over markets and resources - competition that takes economic, political and
often military forms.

The competitors, to justify their efforts, tell us they want freedom, human
rights, democracy, or socialism. We should not be so easily fooled.
Defending *our* common interests means rejecting *their* system of
competition altogether - and establishing real freedom, human rights,
democracy, and socialism.

So of course we should not look forward to any war in South America. We
should completely oppose it, and argue for peace, solidarity and mutual
support of peoples against all attacks - whether US on Venezuela, Venezuelan
on Colombia, or Colombian on Ecuador.>

I assume the crux of your reasoning would be that Chavez (and Correa) or the
'Bolibourgeosie' are no different than the USSR in Eastern Europe which is
no better than the US or Colombia or Israel?
