Default Re: Anti-war movement a caricature of itself

Evidence of Stalinist infiltration or staging?

Several rallies were staged by the World Worker's Party, a major communist party in the United States Linky Check them out at Workers.org.

ANSWER also staged several major anti-war rallies. ANSWER of course is a front for the WWP.

Do you want to know why the antiwar movement has virtually no political power, despite polls showing that a majority of Americans believe it was a mistake for the United States to invade Iraq?
...
Do you want to know why no major national Democratic office holder — not Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.), not Sen. Harry Reid (Nev.), not Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), not Sen. John Kerry (Mass.), not Sen. Joseph Biden (Del.), not anyone — showed up at any of the antiwar events here in Washington this week?
...
Organized by the left-wing coalition United for Peace and Justice and the neo-communist group International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), the rally featured well-known speakers such as Sheehan, Jesse Jackson and the pro-Saddam British MP, George Galloway.
...
And besides the well-known names, there were representatives of far-left groups such as the Socialist Front of Puerto Rico, the Nicaragua Network, the Network in Solidarity With the People of the Philippines, the Women’s Anti-Imperialist League and the Global Women’s Strike .

Like I said, these organizations are the most evil of statist organizations in the world.

Most controversially of all, however, is the fact that WWP has defended Slobodan Milošević and Saddam Hussein against attacks from both the right and the left. Notably, former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, founder of the International Action Center, is in Iraq as of December 2005 acting as a consult to Hussein's defense team. Clark also spoke sympathetically of Milošević at his funeral in March 2006, telling the crowd, "History will prove that Slobodan Milošević was right."

MoveOn.org co-sponsored several major rallies with ANSWER, but had this to say:

[ QUOTE ]
In its e-mail endorsing the antiwar rally held in Washington, D.C. over the weekend, Moveon.org took the unusual step of notifying its 3.5 million members that though it wanted people to attend the event, it had “disagreements on a range of issues” with the organizers. (referring to ANSWER)

And no, HMK, there is nothing anti-violent about communist revolutions. I thought you said you read the forum over at infoshop.

Particularly, members of the Black Bloc (infoshop.org/blackblo.html



The San Fran rally:


Notice Che on his shirt:


Yeah, non-violence alright.
