fred f might spend too much time trying to keep his revolutionary cuffs clean(not an unusual happenstance here) but surely any call for a cease fire and negotiations over in the desert of no return versus in effect cheering on the empire's flying monkeys is solid anti empire talk fans of armed struggle : the democratic revolutio in any national context ---great and world historical as it may be--- often loses ..and often ..bb4 it wins eh ??and much blood ...innocent blood... runs and runs and runs .... that's why they call it a serious business in red circles nothing suggests a rout and vicious mop up of the rebels by col Q 's "forces" means game over eh ??? trying to take one on the cheap with a rag tag near spontaneous uprising ?? a foolish 'safe rooters' fantasy -- in fact the footballing around of the term 'democratic revolution ' (with the big D) has reached in my estimation a point of un useful reification on this list --- evidence lou's video of the left forum panelist on lenin "looking back "-- at any rate we all doubtless agree adding even one marginal left voice to the media chorus now singing " get col Q " can only be motivated by preening self righteousness .... MSM choices for " crimes against humanitygobblen pin up of the month " oughta be resisted at all costs for that matter so far as the third party record shows so far ..in this interval : col Q prior to humantiarian intervention hadn't broken any "rules" of engagement with unarmed crowds that say LA swat teams didn't break back in 1992 as to facing poorly armed rebels ..well a state has its privileges no ??? like a certain "right" to defend itself commonly recognized by its fellow legal bandit outfits one thinks of Waco or the bomb dropped in 1985 on MOVE etc etc the extermination of the panthers ..must one go on here ?? clearly the drag queen of the mahgreb deserves equal standards to uncle slambo i say fidel and hugo are on strong ground as leaders of state systems a distinction lost on the don q's of hardened red meat marxism here ________________________________________________ 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
