8/8/00 It is my ongoing effort to improve the condition of humanity by demonstrating to Liberals that they are not really " nice guys " but are really " good Germans." Liberals have been the apologists for the expansion of violent and destructive Capitalism. While they pay lip service to environmental issues and the poor, and might even donate time and money in order to assuage their well deserved guilt, they will never admit that is the economic system itself which opperates to the detriment of the environment and the people of the world who suffer from the " good intentions," and " lesser evilism " of American Liberals. If you are a Liberal and think that this is an exaggeration, I urge you to reflect upon what YOUR administration, the Clinton administration, has done with YOUR support since YOU gave it access to power and taxes. I am neither a Communist nor a Socialist as is the author of the article below. I have however, had intimate experience with both systems, and believe that they have their place in the world. But they have proven to be ineffective against the spread of Capitalism. For that reason, I do not propose the replacement of Capitalism with these systems. It is time for something new. The Biosphere and the majority of humanity can simply not survive the expansion of Capitalism to a global scale which Liberals apparently support with just a few minor modifications. If you remain a Capitalist or Capitalist apologist, YOU are the problem, and you might be surprised to learn that the only group of people who are convinced that Liberals are really good folks... are Liberals.

Joshua2 ============ Please Post FEEDING ILLUSIONS; LIBERALISM, ANTI- COMMUNISM AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY Dave Silver February 2000 Liberals have historically always felt more comfortable with the Right than the Left. This follows logically from the fact that they regard capitalist bourgeois democracy as the system that can best meet the needs of the vast majority of people. They mechanically adopt the principle of organizing only within the framework of the system and therefore feel that energy should be put into the Democratic Party because that s where the masses are. The Democratic Party is not a mass organization and masses are not in the Party. The masses are given a choice of two evils, and vote for what they believe to be the lesser evil since they have no alternative available. Thus Liberalism, as it rejects a radical class perspective, at the same time finds a new and comfortable center where they buy into racist notions such as I m for affirmative action but against quotas or that we should credit Rudy Mussolini with bringing crime down. A more subtle opportunism and anti-communism is prevalent among those who are further to the Left and consider themselves for the most part as anti-imperialist. They adopt the politics of neo-marxism (the traditional kind is outmoded and no longer has answers for the global economy, they say.), social democracy or the new left. Many may be anti-racist. I allude to groups such as The Brecht Forum, listener supported WBAI, North American Congress for Latin America (NACLA) and Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES), the Green Party and other justice and peace Coalitions. These latter groups equally condemn violence whether it is the reactionary violence of the imperialist or domestic oppressor or the violence of liberation or oppressed and exploited peoples. We have seen them applaud imperialism s attempt to demonize and try leaders such as Milosevic for crimes against humanity. They equate as co-evils both he and the NATO bombing of his country. Most egregious of all is the common practice of the Liberal-Left to equate socialism and fascism. Of course the essential anti-communism is camouflaged with the cutting edge code word Stalinism. This group likes to equate the two opposite systems using surrogate symbolism; for instance ripping out all historic context they refer to the Hitler Stalin Pact. One program equated the Nazi manifestation of Kristallnacht with the Berlin Wall needed to safeguard the socialist base of the German Democratic Republic against the illegally adopted west German Mark. Caught up in making the system work better these folk invite Black and white elected officials who tell us that they can do a better job than the Republicans and pose as the only hope for the downtrodden. The choice is clear; we must reject the Liberal often racist and anti-communist path or feed the dangerous illusion that the Democratic Party, whether reformed or Independent can be a Peoples Party. One cannot be anti-imperialist or anti-racist and at the same time be anti-communist. Marx called them antagonistic. =============================================== Articles sent by Bill. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
