What the “Professional Left” Refuses to Share With Their “Followers”: 2011-The Year of the Dupe

"Now more than ever, "we the people" must steel ourselves against this immense corporate-fascist empire as it sprawls death, destruction, and domination, militarily and economically, across the planet.

WHY ARE PRO-REGIME CHANGE LEFTIES IN THE LEADERSHIP OF THE ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT?

"Nothing short of a completely new anti-war movement needs to be built, one which divorces from the politics of sectarianism and eurocentric liberalism, and is rooted in resistant-oppressed communities, addresses the concerns of African communities and western-backed wars across Africa (which the anti-war movement has never addressed, and actually helped facilitate in the case of Libya), and has a clear and militant line of anti-imperialism and internationalism."
