A Chairde / Comrades, Received this excellent write up on recent events in the U.S. To contact the author for discussion on this article, e mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Beir Bua / Onwards to victory! ############################################################################ > Whatever happened to the United States of Aggression on the llth of September 2001 was self-inflicted. > > Most certainly amongst the dead there were people who didn't deserve to die (and here I am definitely not talking about the butchers of Pentagon nor the super-exploiters of the World Trade) but the blood of theirs is on the hands of the U.S . > > The U.S. have been for far to long now going around invading, bombing and massacring;ordering us around and deciding who is going to live and who to die. In the countries of the Third World people are either literally dying of starvation or surviving hungry. The reason being greed for profit and power, thus me-the-best-fuck-the-rest attitude of the U.S., Britain and other imperialist criminals. Mass murder of the people is their way. It is fair to say then that the U.S., as a State, deserves this and much, much worse. > > As for the American public, here is one plain, cold fact. Apart from the respectable minority, most of the American people are more or less passive, if not totally indifferent, about the gonocidal terror that the people of the non-white-non-Western-European World have been subjected to by the U.S. Why? The answer is straightforeward. Because it is always happening far away from home, to others - not them. Now, (only) a wee fragment of war has been brought onto America....well, have you ever heard of learning hard way? Happened even to us innocent. Join the club, fellow Americans. > > Many anti-imperialists and Left who have condemned the attack on the Pentagon and World Trade. No, it was not the purest of actions but the Pentagon and World Trade are the legitimate targets, no doubt about that. > > What will decide whether some good will come out of it for us or not in terms of were do we go from here and what happens next depends on the position the anti-imperialist forces take and what they make out of it. > > If the anti-imperialists tail the official reaction and language (as many have) this will have devastating consequences for us and everything we have accomplished over the years of struggle. We will be thrown way back from where we have managed to fight our way to and it will be very hard to come back. Only Imperialists and revisionists will benefit. Are we going to allow this to happen? > > Now the imperialists are going for the new wave of mass slaughter. They could hardly wait. Normally we would be taking to the streets. How come we are not doing it now? > > I have been following what you had to say folks for the last 10 days. It was impossible not to notice to-close-to-home panic in the air of the West. > > This is the last thing the masses of the World need; radicals and revolutionaries on retreat for fearing repression. > > Instead of going on the defensive, they need us to stand our ground. We owe it to the Oppressed Peoples of the World, and we owe it to the Proletariat, including the US working class and nothing-too-loose. If we don't act in this way we will leave them in the hands of their rulers. And we do know what way the imperialists want to direct people's minds, don't we. > > Honestly, I would expect from the politically conscious people a more scientific and down-to-earth approach. Let's examine the latest. The guilty as hell super-power that is the U.S. and its top military and economic institutions were under massive attack and we got almost the same response from the imperialists and anti-imperialists. Instead of making the imperialists feel guilty (as they are), insecure and unsafe, which is very much what they need from the therapeutical point of view to cure the hyper-arrogancy they have been 'suffering' from for very long time now, quite a few of you simply tailed the Imperialists line, tone and vocabulary. "Condemnation of terrorist action" from the left and anti-imperialists is just giving a boost to racism, chauvinism and supremacy of the real terrorist, which is the USA. Everybody has gone so emotional over this attack on the US. Thinking of hundreds of years of rape of Palestinians, Blacks, Kurds, Iraqis, Irish, El Salvadorians....I am surprised you people are left with such high level of emotional capacity. Shock is even less appropriate reaction. Did people really think that the situation will forever keep one-sided feature: peace for the West and war for the rest. How about raising the slogan: either we all have the right to peace or non of us do. > > All over the imperialist media we could see those officials and journalists warmongering, stirring racism - not hiding much that the imperialist white supremacy is their cause. They are giving the green light to racists by keep reiterating how "it is understandable if Americans feel to go violent against Arabs and Muslims" in the aftermath of the Attack. Think about it. If they, after one single attack on the U.S., can understand Americans being hateful and vengeful, how come that we can not understand those who went for this Attack after 200 years of US monstrosities and tyranny, even if we ourselves wouldn't do it exactly the same way. Something just isn't right here. > > The thing is that with the latest developments U.S. foreign policy has become an issue for the people in the U.S. too, for a change. There will be polarisation taking place as a result of heightening of contradictions. Heightening of contradictions is a good thing for people, less for those already in position of power. The attack on America is going to create lots of both. There will be people who will be more willing to stop now when you are selling your revolutionary paper than before. The others will cling onto their U.S. of Amerikkka even tighter, and curse you even louder. We can't get any where without polarisation and distribution of forces. > > We have the right to demand from American people, just like we do from ourselves, that they take a position in the struggle against the crimes of their ruling classes. We have the right to expect from them nothing less but to point the finger at the White House and declare: you are not going to do this in our name to our sisters and brothers the world over. The U.S. public needs to be made to understand that they have a choice in the matter. If they however choose to remain callous and indifferent then they have to be prepared to take consequences. Such is the World their State has created to fit its own image. One thing Americans cannot expect from Oppressed Peoples; to sit and take the shit. O no, they do and will fight back. > > For them, this World is a very ugly place. Once again, responsible for it are first and foremost the imperialists. People around the World hate them with passion and their hatred is righteous. But, People also have different understanding on how to fight imperialism. Will a specific nation of people use all-the-way correct method of struggle or not depends on the presence, that is absence, of correct political and ideological leadership. Another words, it dependes on the political and ideological forces that are in operation. How fast the region is going to develop a correct leadership very much depends on the historical and cultural factors. If a country has the ultimate leadership (which ought to be Marxist-Leninist-Maoist in my opinion ), the strategy of that liberation struggle is going to be as fair as it can be in the war situation. In the countries that don't have correct ideological leadership the masses will respond to the calls of who ever appeaars to voice their aspirations best. These wars of liberation are not going to be so 'pure and clean' but the Oppressed Peoples have had enough and can not afford to stay passive. They face constant aggression and their lives are reduced to poverty and misery. So they have no choice but to fight. All this is part of revolutionary progression. > > Whatever state of your hearts comrades, the attack on the murderous military machine that is the Pentagon and ruthless plunderer that is World Trade was a logical and unavoidable consequence of the US policy towards the Oppressed Nations and countries. The United States of Aggression asked for it! > _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
