And as for this all "moral support" business, I can do no better than to quote Sartre's preface to Fanon's *The Wretched of the Earth*, which I've inexcusably waited this long to read: "Sometimes the Left scolds them ... 'you're going too far; we won't support you any more.' The natives don't give a damn about their support; for all the good it does them they might as well stuff it up their backsides." After the EU blacklisted Hezbollah as a "terrorist" organization in 2013, there were a number of jokes in the region about its fighters running home to their villages in fright and such. http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Local-News/2013/Jul-24/224823-southerners-find-hilarityin-eu-move-to-blacklist-hezbollah.ashx In the absence of some concrete mechanism for leftists in the West to turn their moral support into actual material support, their online ruminations will count for still less than that. -- "Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre, mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað." _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
