I've been following the debate over the war in Libya on the list, and have some questions for those who generally put forward the "anti-pro-Qadaffi" position, as I'll refer to it.
The Libyan opposition (the "rebels") are supported by NATO and the western imperialist powers. If they represent a genuine force for democracy and self-determination, why are the imperialists supporting them militarily and politically?
Would a victory for the opposition on the basis of the NATO intervention be a positive step for democracy, self-determination, and ultimately for the development of socialism in Libya and in the broader Middle East in general?
How do you explain this? ________________________________________________ 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
