With this PHYSICAL disruption (the word of choice of RT) of a White Helmets' event in Grand Central, the Stalinists of the Hands Off Syria Coalition have put themselves beyond the pale. There is a long-standing tradition against violence within the movements of workers' and the oppressed. The Workers World thugs who violated this tradition have shown they cannot be trusted to share platforms, meetings or demonstrations with activists seeking to advance progressive causes. If the Grand Central event had been properly marshalled the Stalinists could have been stopped; we must ensure this oversight is not repeated. (And let's not forget that it's the genocidal violence of their leader Assad that caused the flight, death and wounding of millions of Syrians, the very ones with Workers World claims to support once they're refugees. Please share this widely, alert comrades to the danger of thug violence. https://www.rt.com/usa/379391-anti-syrian-war-protest-disrupts/ _________________________________________________________ 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
