Not content with the plunder and misery of the past six decades, the pirate states Britain and the US are using the PROTECTORATE to recolonize the world.
Not content with the slow squeezing out of above all African and Latin American blood by way of neo-colonialism, using the IMF and "Free" Trade, they now want to muscle back in with a more direct military presence. Not content with the servility of their local
puppets, they will install Vice-Roys who will give orders to even more servile local wallahs. Kosovo and Afghanistan are but a foretaste.
The profits gobbled up as a result of the demographic holocaust known as "urbanization" -- the destruction of the huge pool of humanity engaged in subsistence farming up to the mid-20th century -- are just a gnawing memory to this insatiable vampire.
International capital is addicted to blood and is tired of hunting its victims. It wants to farm them. In broiler cages.
But this cowardly insolent one-sided outlaw attack on the people, the ordinary working people, of a distant country is at the same time an attack on the people, the ordinary working people, of the US and Britain. This undeclared war on Iraq is a symptom of the equally undeclared war on working people in Europe and North America. Rolling back the decolonized world order of the post-WW2 era is proceeding in pace with the rolling back of the social and cultural conquests of the working class in the industrialized world.
The enemy is not terrorism, fundamentalism, Islam, Communism or drugs -- the enemy is at home, sitting arrogant, sleek and self-righteous in the halls of the government.
After decades of unprecedented growth in national and international production and wealth -- the world is poorer than ever! After decades of "peace", the world is bloodier and more insecure than ever!
The "liberation" of the Soviet Union was a fraud, freeing only international capital to sink its fangs into the working people there. Throwing out the filthy bathwater of the Stalinist regime threw the baby out with it.
The "liberation" of South African changed the regime, not the grinding injustice and poverty of the underlying
system. These are no model solutions for the world.
The enemy is at home. He can be stopped at home. Bush and Blair can be removed. New policies can be forged to make people into people cooperating with their neighbours and their fellow workers in other
countries instead of setting them like wolves at each others throats.
Not a penny for the war! Not a word of acquiescence but a roar of anger and repudiation!
US and British troops are not fighting for democracy or freedom, they are cannon fodder carving up the world for a gang of obscenely wealthy slavers, for pirates whose only aspiration is to become even richer and more despotic.
NO TO THE WAR!
NO TO RECOLONIZATION!
DOWN WITH THE WARLORDS -- BUSH OUT!
