Mark Jones attacks Andrej as follows- <Behind the squalid veil of cant and hypocrisy with which you "equally" condemn "all" the war criminals, is the simple fact that you are supporters of Nato and enemies of your own people.> I rather think that is untrue, Mark. I don't hear Andrej EQUALLY attacking both sides. Far from this, he has gone out of his way to establish contacts across Europe to the US and Mexico, and to many other countries, also. And his effort is not to attack Milosevic, but rather to attack the imperialist countries. Andrej concentrates on the bigger criminals at largein the world. Is this is not enough for the Leftists in the imperialist countries? Must Andrej give a big bear hug to Milosevic while he is at it? Interestingly, none of these cheerleader marxist types have addressed the issue that Andrej keeps raising in his broken English. That is the issue of Resistance versus Support. What does he mean by this? The radical left has a long history of the negative politics of groupie cheerleaders of one regime or another. I can think back to the group that only wanted to chant.....Ho,Ho, Ho Chi Minh, VietCong is going to Win...... They never organized more than themselves. Those that organized under.... US Out Now... were resisting, not supporting.... and they organized millions. Further, is the negative experence of Solidarity Groups throughout the '80s. Solidarity with Guatemala, Solidarity with El Salvador, Solidarity with Cuba, Solidarity with Nicaragua, Solidarity with Bosnia, Solidarity with East Tumor, and so on and on...... And yet we are left with an imperialist bloc without any organized antiwar movement. If we are to talk about a Fifth Column here, I would start with all those marxists that abandoned the effort to organize an antiwar movement that had already been organized, and then went scurrying to organize trade unions. Except ever so often, to organize cheering squads for the international flavor of the month. Resistance, Not Support. It seems like a simple enough concept for all those people embedded constantly in historical theorizing. Yet they seem to just miss what Andrej is saying entirely. They want to cheer, not resist. Adding a quote in from Stalin brings back nostalgic memories. Remember those supportive banners of Stalin gazing into the distance (the near socialist future) with a slight smile and solid confidence. Don't support this type of imagery..... Please. Resistance, Not Support. Resist NATO and The US War Machine.
