This leads to campism and adaptation the same "petty bourgeois" forces. I notice Michael P. leaves out "Al Queda" and "ISIS" in his expression of solidarity. We, as Marxists, should have a clear analysis of the reactionary nature of some of these movements and support for all democratic impulses by the masses against them. At the same time the only "solidarity" is to oppose, as Mark suggested, any aggression from Imperialism, full stop. It doesn't mean any form of support for any of these movements whatsoever. We should be examining each movement independently of each other in light of the international situation AND the domestic class struggle as well. That puts us in a better position to build a mass movement in the streets, in the labor movement, internationally, against Imperialism without suggestions of political support for this or that obscure movement or reactionary governments that happen to come under attack by Imperialism. We did that in the U.S. in the late 1960s and early 1970s opposing U.S. imperialist war in Vietnam without a shred of support for the Vietnamese Communist Party or the NLF though of course many did that as well (usually IMO).
