Karl Marx pointed out way
back in 1848 in his Communist Manifesto :" The working people have no
country ". To this ruling class inspired xenophobia, inflamed by
Islamophobia , socialists around the world raise the banner of
INTERNATIONAL WORKING CLASS SOLIDARITY.
Senator Bernie Sanders should read -or re-read- the famous speech
of Eugene V. Debs , his Canton Speech. Debs opposed the Great War, the
war to make the world safe for democracy. Debs explained that the war
was all about imperialist interests and that rabid nationalism could
only be toxic to ordinary working class people.
If Martin Luther King were alive today , he would say about this "
war on terrorism " just what he said about the criminal Vietnam War :
The United States is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world
today.
Daily injustice in the lives of so many Middle East people is also
a form of terrorism. The former colonialist powers bomb Syria day and
night and then deny the thousands of refugees any shelter in their
homelands.
No bells will toll in Notre Dame Cathedral for the faceless
COLLATERAL DAMAGE of this moral catastrophe- and miserable failure- war
on terrorism.
