Clay has done outstanding work in defending the Syrian Revolution against the lies and slanders of the "anti-imperialist" pro-Baathist Left as well as his excellent video on the US destruction of Vietnam. It is thus with great sadness that I am forced to conclude that he has gone off the deep end politicially in his latest post where he states - "Not only is Hillary Clinton's position far more sympathetic to the Syrian people and their plight, as a purely practical political matter, she is correct to embrace the reality that any solution that does not involve the overthrow of the Assad regime can never succeed in bringing peace to Syria or allowing the millions of Syrian refugees to go home." Hillary Clinton, no more than Obama, has NO SYMPATHY for the Syrian people! It is nauseating to have to state this on a MARXISM list! Like Obama, she wants only to force Assad to step aside while maintaining his regime in the same way that Bush in 1991 called for the Iraqi people to get rid of Saddam - but not his regime. In this way, US imperialism hopes to achieve some degree of stability in the region as well as in Europe by allowing the massive number of refugees to return and thus reduce the social-political xenophobic tensions there. Clay also states that a left opposition to the Democrats = “spoiler” = a vote for Trump - "the Green Party is actually helping the Trump campaign!" He has thus swallowed whole the standard Democratic Party line that delegitimizes any and all left opposition to them. Following this line would permanently prevent the creation of such an opposition. To cover himself, he appeals to the fear that, while in the past, the boy was lying about "crying wolf" when seeking to demonize the Republicans to bludgeon the left into voting lesser evil, this time it's different - there really is a big bad wolf, ready to launch a white supremacist war. President Hillary is the only obstacle to that nightmarish scenario! With "friends" like this, who needs enemies? For me, Clay has destroyed his political credibility. I don't understand why he's still here and not volunteering his talents to the Clinton campaign. P.S. - John Negroponte!! Another neocon Hillary supporter. Is Henry K next?? You're in great company Clay! http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/08/10/former-top-bush-official-negroponte-endorses-clinton.html On Wed, Aug 10, 2016 at 3:53 AM, Clay Claiborne via Marxism < marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu> wrote: > > http://claysbeach.blogspot.com/2016/08/meet-green-partys- > jill-stein-putin-sock.html > > _________________________________________________________ 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
