Re: [Marxism] Redbaiting on the left

[Eli Stephens <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

"When another liberal, Bill Clinton went to war from the air, there was no 
anti-war movement in the streets or in  his party's ranks to oppose him."

I realize that was a quote from David Horowitz, but I'd guess it reflects a 
more wider-spread misconception. In fact, there was very much an anti-war 
movement in the streets against the bombing of Yugoslavia, led by many of the 
same people (International Action Center, which evolved into ANSWER although it 
also still exists). Of course, the corporate media did its best to ignore and 
marginalize that movement, as it does all progressive movements, particularly 
those independent of the Democratic Party.
