If you oppose war you are promoting a Leftist position.


A "leftist" position? By that criterion, Charles Lindbergh was a leftist 
because he opposed intervention in 1940. But what kind of leftism is it 
that is based on sympathies for Hitler? Lindbergh was to Hitler as 
people like Vanessa Beeley and Tim Anderson are to Assad. We are 
interested in revolutionaries, not "leftists". We are obligated as 
Marxists to take the side of revolutionary forces in Syria even though 
they have been marginalized by 6 years of scorched earth tactics by the 
regime and reactionary backing of Islamists from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and 
Turkey. I am not particularly interested anyhow in "leftists". The 
masked idiots who punched out photographers in Berkeley are on the left 
but they are also an obstacle to building the kind of left we need. We 
need to build a revolutionary socialist movement, not some misbegotten 
"leftist" movement that keeps shooting itself in the foot. I lived 
through that with the Weathermen, the Maoist idiots and the Trotskyist 
cults of one sort of another 45 years ago. Let the dead bury the dead.

You say the Libertarians are doing the right thing - Who do you include
among the "Libertarians" and what "right things" are they doing?
