I'm sorry if I posted a reply to a post that Jonathan had not put on the
list. I am trying to start a new job in another city, and am rushing
to move, etc. I thought it was a list post. It was not something
deliberate I did. But since I supposedly 'defend' Milosevic, I guess
I must be capable of mass murder, if not genocide?
Bullshit artist, 'flower of the desert', Gus Hall lover, disingenouous
anti-people posturer. This isn't because I attacked Noam. I'm
allowed that. Any other names or insults for me?
I get this rage directed at me, because I impolitely condemned Left
anti-communism as being supportive of imperialist war. I didn't pass
the loyalty test that Western liberal anti-communists want ALL to take.
I don't blame you all for this anger. You want to see your opinions
as nobly condemning criminals equally, and everywhere. And here I
come along essentially accusing this attitude as being nothing more than
being colabrationist covertly, with the actons of your own ruling
classes. What defense is there, other than to accuse me in turn of
collaborating with Milosevic's thuggery?
One of the most bizarre aspects and ironies of the last decade, has been
where Western Left cold-warriors were somewhat able to defend Saddam
Hussein-led Iraq against US imperialism, but were loath to do the same
for Milosevic-led Yugoslavia.
Does it remind them too much, of what their opposition against Stalinist
tyranny did for the peoples of the ex-Soviet Bloc? This 'equal'
opposition against supposedly equal criminality led to a fine outcome,
did it not?
Yes, I love Slobodan. He is my leader. If I say anything else, I
cannot be sincere.
