POSTING RULES & NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * The reports of the horrendous slaughter of Palestinians as the US embassy was established in Jerusalem is sickening but entirely predictable. The US has never been a neutral in this fight but It appears as a particularly bloodthirsty backer of Zionism under the Trump leadership. Any remnant of the two state solution is now torn to shreds. I have supported the Palestinian struggle for just on 50 years. These days my physical capacities are lessened by age and illness but I am more convinced than ever that this is a struggle that will win. But now more than ever it needs the support of us who live outside the immediate area of struggle. Participate and at the least financially support Palestinian solidarity groups rally, demonstrate lobby on the issue of Palestinian rights. Support particularly the BDS campaign. What I am now going to say will probably strike US readers of this site as a little strange but a major site of this campaign over the next year should be around Eurovision. This was won last weekend by an Israeli singer. As I understand it this will mean that next year's contest will be held in Israel. This normalisation of the zionist occupation of Palestine under the ever growing openly murderous actions of that regime is abhorrent. I think that there great difficulties to say the least with the Palestinian leadership but that is a matter for the Palestinian people we of the left have a huge obligation to do everything we can to help protect them against the Zionist settler regime and its supporters in our countries. _ 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

POSTING RULES & NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * The real face of Zionism is bared at the prison fence that is used against the Palestinians of the Gaza strip. The latest report I have seen says that 17 have been killed and thousands injured by tank, drone and gunfire from "democratic Zionists". This is just the start of a 6 week campaign leading up to the re-siting of the US embassy to Jerusalem in May under the orders of the monster Trump. It is hard to know how much Palestinian blood will be spilt in the celebration carried on by the "democratic Zionists." I support the BDS campaign as a solidarity with the Palestinian people in their inspirational struggle against Zionism and for a unified Palestinian state from the river to the sea. I have not previously heard the term zio but on its face I don't particularly like it I prefer to call things what they are and the enemy is Zionism and therefore Zionists particularly weasel "democratic" Zionists. That struggle includes the rejection and repulsion of anti-Semitism as well as the fraudulent attempt to equate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism. _ 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

But on the issue raised-the ongoing fight by the right wing to retake the leadership of the Labour Party in Britain the Guardian's coverage is abysmal and toadying to the anti-Corbyn forces.

The Greens in the US are not a socialist or vanguard party. Stein has many drawbacks as a candidate but she comes up pretty good against Clinton or Trump. But that doesn't seem to me to be the point. In the US a move towards breaking from the utterly poisonous lesser-evilism that shackles workers, Africa-Americans Latinos etc to the fetid corpse of "progressive" Democrats would be an actually progressive move. Surely the point of Clay's story of his father's treacherous dirty tricks campaign on behalf of Goldwater is that it was a miserable failure. But the further miserable failure was that Democrats have spent the last 50 years created a red-herring by trailing the increasingly tattered coat-tails of the legislative victories for civil and voting rights from the mid sixties and have consistently won support on the grounds of lesser evilism to carry out their actual reactionary policies http://edition.cnn.com/2016/08/04/politics/hillary-clinton-leads-donald-trump-national-polls/ _ 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

The LP has now become an actual mass party. From a Marxist viewpoint neither Corbyn nor the party are avatars of perfection but possibilities are strongly opened beyond what is offered by the Greens in the US or Australia.

POSTING RULES & NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * The problem with this call is that it is based on an independent Sanders campaign or Sanders/Green campaign actually becoming the dominant anti-Trump force. That seems to me to be highly unlikely to say the least and the idea that Clinton and the Democrats would abandon the field is surely put forward as a merely fanciful rhetorical device. No the reality must be faced that a supercharged third party Sanders/Green campaign might well secure a healthy percentage of votes but nowhere near enough to displace Clinton as the major challenger to Trump. The further reality is that the more successful such a campaign was the more likely that it would take enough votes from the Clinton Democrats to leave Trump the final winner. This is not-as far as I am concerned- an argument against such a campaign. But it should be built on an honest understanding of what it involves. The possibility of a Trump victory is being used as a bogey-man argument to force support to the very-right wing candidacy of Hillary Clinton. But this is not the 1930's , Trump does not equal fascism, the Democrats are not Social Democrats and a call for an independent left campaign is not a breach of a non-existent united front against a non-existent threat of fascism. However it would be counter-productive in the short and long run to build a left third party on a false basis of becoming in this election cycle the dominant force against Trump. Rather it should be done on the basis of a decisive break form the falsity of lesser-evilism and the beginning of a fight to build an independent political leadership. While I look at these issues from afar in Australia I would think that a first step would be advocating a vote for the Greens and to build that as strongly as possible. Unfortunately Sanders is now out of the picture for such a project as he has become a shill for Wall St Hillary.

But there is room here for fighting back on austerity for fighting against the barbaric treatment of asylum seekers and many other issues. The Canberra Coup was directed at disciplining of the ALP and the leadership of the trade unions to pursue "reasonable" -ie pro-capitalist policies-as was already their natural default positions. So various Labor governments have presided over the weakening of the unions the reduction of real wages ,the transfer of wealth to obscenely bloated capitalists and CEOs and ever deeper involvement in imperialist adventurism including most criminally support of and participation in the invasion and destruction of Iraq. The left Laborites have raised little or no opposition to this over a lengthy period. Certainly what I have seen of Corbyn places him well to the left of anyone in the ALP. While polls show the ALP has a commanding lead over the conservatives of the Abbott government this seems to me to be based on an aversion to the stinking politics of the government rather than enthusiasm for the Labor Party. The Greens who register up to 15% of the vote in polls are seen as more of a source of fightback than Labor here.
