From Andy Pollock: “Lord knows in thesedays when leftist toadying to Assad, to Ahmedinejad, to Zuma, is still costingus tremendously on a world scale, we need to be precise in ourscientific analysis at the same time as we mobilize energetically in defenseof the Ecuadorean government and any other government standing upin practice, not just in words, to imperialism, whatever the classnature of those regimes. Defending them, hailing their progressive steps,doesn't mean prettifying them.” This is a crucial point. Defense againstimperialism does not mean apology for the regime. The Left in the US has spenddecades apologizing from regimes that stand against imperialism.
