I think comrades have seen Stephen Shalom's excellent article on "Russia and the Left": http://newpol.org/content/russia-and-left Today we have a perfect example of the lunacy Stephen dissected, in the form of "peace" activist David Swanson pimping for Putin: Samantha Power Can See Russia from Her Padded Cell By David Swanson http://davidswanson.org/node/5415 Ironically Power's main claim to fame is spending the last six years jerking around the anti-Assad forces with false promises and denying them the arms that might have ousted the regime. But for Swanson, her cardinal sin is being mean to Vladimir. (Meanwhile on the same UFPJ list where I saw Swanson's piece, there's a new thread defending promotion of Tulsi Gabbard's bill to deny arms to the FSA while ADMITTING that she's a racist, Islamophobic, anti-refugee/homeless/etc. reactionary.) _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
