Re: [Marxism] British Government Refuses To Discuss Sovereignty of Malvinas

[J.M.P.Cloke@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Oh... right. So, on a soi-disant Marxist list, the claims 
over a tiny piece of land fought over by three separate 
imperialist powers, France, Spain and Great Britain (long 
before there was such a thing as Argentina) have been 
decided on behalf of an ex-colony, ex-colonial power and 
subsequent military dictatorship, have they?

I can feel some relative morality coming on: "Now that 
sides have been decided upon, the party of the first part 
(Great Britain) having been allocated the role of 
imperialist oppressor and the party of the second part 
(Argentina) having been allocated the role of plucky 
freedom fighter against imperialist oppression, the party 
of the third part (the Falkland Islanders) are hereby 
declared to be running-dog lackeys of the imperialist 
oppressors and therefore fair game. As a direct 
consequence, any acts of murder/atrocity/rape etc. 
committed by aggrieved members of parties of the second 
part upon the afore-mentioned imperialist running dogs 
(parties of the third part) is hereby declared to be 
wholly and totally the fault of the party of the first 
part."

There's something deliciously Monty Pythonesque about your 
analysis of the class struggle in this particular 
instance, my dear.

Or perhaps, in the style of Artesian, you're just a 
wanker?
