" War on terrorism " a cover for the New Colonialism

   Ah, a "militant socialist"! Just the ticket to fight "the war on terrorism"... Just the ticket to fight the Koran!... I get it: ISIS doesn't appreciate the labor theory of value. If only we could point out virtue in the class struggle to them, they would see the light, put down their weapons and join a picket line for Allah!

     To be sure, communists and socialists reject terrorism as a means to social justice. We would tell the oppressed masses of the Middle East: only a mass political movement can overthrow the New Colonialism.

 

    The " war on terrorism " is essentially a cover for this New Colonialism. All those imperial powers of Old Europe gang bombing, gang banging Iraq and Syria. An endless war ! 

    We need a revival of the anti-war movement in the United States. Hillary and Trump will turn a deaf ear to it. 

   Your poor grandmother here can freeze to death while her grandson fights for " our " oil in the Middle East.  What a bloody joke !
