Exactly so, knee jerk thinking for sure. Without re-opening a whole can of worms, I felt this attitude was present in analyzing the situation in the Balkans in the 90s: since the muslims accepted aid from the US or sought that meant they were bad and stooges of US imperialism, instead of realizing that from their perspective they can look to whomever is willing to materially aid them in their struggle against those who have historically oppressed them. The classic example of this was the Irish taking aid from Kaiser's Germany in 1916. Thus many of the same jihadis who fought in Bosnia were involved in fighting against US puppet regimes elsewhere in the same period. > As an antidote to the formulaic approach of Furuhashi, who seems to have > learned her Marxism--such as it is--from two parts Sam Marcy and > ninety-eight parts Foucault, here's Leon Trotsky: > > ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
