I am no friend of imperialism or imperialist military adventures but fuck it. If they want to invade the entire Middle East and put it under direct military occupation... that -would- be one way to break their back. It would be insanely stupid and they know it, which is why they aren't about to try. I will oppose imperialist military intervention when and if it happens but this has nothing to do with the issue of support for the revolutions and revolutionary peoples in Libya and elsewhere. Their demands are just and democratic and to deny them is to deny the very spirit of communism, it is to deny the blood of all those who have died for it and the blood of those who are dying right now under Gaddafi's bombs and machetes. In any case Gaddafi is dead. A walking zombie. A nothing. There is no support for him now. He will not survive this. He is irrelevant except as a butcher of his own people, an obscenity on the face of humanity. -dave ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
