As a democratic Socialist I take offense at demonizing the word " radicalized "

What was COINTELPRO ?

Speaking about " terminology " I take offense- as a democratic Socialist -at this term " radicalized ". Any aging survivor of 60s anti-war protest would be proud to say that he or she had been " radicalized ". Back then( vintage year 1968 ) it just meant that you got beyond ruling class propaganda and were prepared to work for RADICAL social change-BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY , to quote the fiery Black Muslim Malcolm X.
The best and brightest socialists rejected the tactics of isolated terrorist groups( like the Weathermen ) frequently infiltrated by government provocateurs ( the notorious COINTELPRO scheme to destroy the Socialist Workers Party ).
Not every " radicalized " militant opponent of U.S. imperialism and STATE TERROR in the Middle East is a candidate for ISIS.
The U.S. " war on terrorism " is a moral catastrophe and a miserable failure. Try a little more JUSTICE in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria , and Palestine . That works better ! 

Drunk on beer Brown students love Bernie Sanders ?

Brown University study of " structural racism "

I can recommend a never quite silenced black voice as an expert on " structural racism ". An old paper back book I am presently reading is titled " Malcolm X Speaks " , edited by George Breitman ( 1966) . One of Malcolm X's speeches is titled " The Harlem' Hate Gang 'Scare ". It is very relevant in explaining -not advocating- so called " terrorist type  tactics " today connected with the chaos in the Middle East. But clearly Malcolm X connected structural racism with capitalism : " It's impossible for a white person to believe in capitalism and not believe in racism "( page 69 ).
Think about what Malcolm X says here and then see the wisdom of the Bernie Sanders campaign - even with a few beers in you subverting your capitalist conditioned " common sense ". A socialist for president ?

Motivation of mass killer Syed Farook and wife " living the American dream ".

Syed Farook and his wife - I caught this bit in some on- line Italian language news source- were " living the American dream ". So what motivated this madness ? Are we to believe that Middle Eastern Islamic people are as prone to tune in to wrathful Allah messages as many Italians are prone to tune in to divine opera ? " Living the American dream " implies acceptance of the phony mass media images of America as a golden country of endless opportunity - a consumerist paradise- also " with justice for all ".
Upton Sinclair's socialist leaning novel " The Jungle " was not just about the health hazards of the meat packing industry . It was about the profound disillusion of the New Immigrants in America.
Left -wing scholars have observed for years that fascism usually begins with the rage of the ruined petty-bourgeois. They envy the rich and very successful and refuse to identify with the working class and the have-nots of the world.
They are religious only to the degree that they see God as their ally in the pursuit of philistine success. When this false God-or Allah- betrays their hopes and dreams they turn nihilistic.
Capitalist America is cracking up !

Syed Farook-and wife- believed in the American Dream ?

Rotten old European colonialist powers saving the world from Islamic terrorism ?

Britain to join air campaign in Syria

    All these rotten old European colonialist powers now determined to save the world from Islamic terrorism. The capitalist new media never EXPLAINS the terrorists, never HUMANIZES them. It is much easier to slaughter CARTOON villains and to hell with the faceless COLLATERAL DAMAGE. No bells will toll in Notre Dame Cathedral for these massacred innocents of this cruel war.
Just weeks ago I read about the U.S. bombing of the Doctors Without Borders trauma hospital in Afghanistan. A true war crime, said United Nations observers and hospital staff survivors.
Many similar U.S. war crime stories - all well documented like the Abu Ghraib prisoner of war atrocity , like CIA torture at Guantanamo in Cuba.
The United States military has no moral authority to lead any war on terrorism anywhere in the world.
Its phony war on terrorism - a cover for imperialist interests in the Middle East - is miserable failure and a moral catastrophe.
I see a revival of the anti-war movement in the United States, England, and Europe. It will play a role in the next presidential election here .
