The event was until this year an ISO conference, not DSA. And as the article makes clear with examples like Anand Gopal, the same speakers have been speaking for over a decade and they are people who are true internationalists and anti-imperialists. It hasn't changed, they simply want to claim it has, I guess because anyone who looks will see them and their friends were once speakers and attendees, until they became defenders of war and standing against internationalism -- not the other way around. I've been attending for 15 years, it is Blumenthal and his crew who has sold out and have resorted to conspiracy theories over Marxist analysis to explain uprising. Which is why they must attack people like Anand Gopal, Gilber Achcar and Dan La Botz as somehow compromised in the conspiracy. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
