Orgs like PSL march with feds & war profiteers while attacking the anti-NATO movement for having contradictions
Abstract
When the PSL marched this week with the DHS and Lockheed Martin personnel who are working to attach themselves to Pride, it proved that the elements of the left which have been attacking Rage Against the War Machine aren’t doing this due to RAWM’s contradictions. They’re doing it because trying to discredit a multi-tendency antiwar coalition—particularly one whose communist organizations take the pro-Russian stance—is in their best interests as left opportunists. These opportunists are willing to go to rallies that have problematic actors, including actors so problematic that they’re leaders of some of U.S. imperialism’s central institutions. They’re willing to do so because these rallies are about a cause which socialists and liberals can agree on, in this case the need for LGBT rights. When the cause is something socialists and liberals will never agree on, that being the need to consistently act against U.S. hegemony, they’ll denounce the rally and the coalition for being too impure.
