There were some responses to Mine's post, to which I accidentally replied on this list, on the other list. Maybe it is better to keep the discussion there rather than carrying it here. I don't know. It is up to Michael, the benevolent non-dictator of this list. Peace and Justice are fine slogans Chris, especially when justice includes economic justice on a world scale. On the other hand, asking economic justice is asking war, not peace. The screwers of the world will not give it to us unless we fight for economic justice. Well, how do I know this? Say, I just ran a statistical model on the entire human history and this forecast was the result of my run. Further, economic justice is a blow to capitalists' ability to accumulate capital. Do you think they can give up on that and let go of their domination? Maybe in certain parts of the world, like yours, where their domination may be exported to elsewhere, although I have serious doubts about even that, but not in my part of the world, as far as I can see. We all want a peaceful (and democratic) world but we are not going to get it unless we confront the terrible things that are going on and fight, if necessary, again, if necessary, using force. Lastly, it is important for us in this global fight to recognize that this is not only a time-varying but also a spatially varying system, and hence our solution should also be as such. Solidarity, Sabri P.S: Could you please expand upon what you mean by "progressive class alliances"?
