Subject: Re: AUT: Imperialism = main contradiction?


 
There has been enough anti-anti-imperialist rhetoric
on this list to fill the Marianna Trench. It all
sounds frightfully radical and pure, but it never
includes anything relevant to actual political
practice. For instance, nobody on this list has been
able to formulate any demands based on the
anti-anti-imperialist perspective applicable to
Palestine today. 

Most of the left calls for one or another type of
Palestinian state in the Holy land; the best parts of
the left call for the destruction of Israel and the
establishment of a secular Palestine in its place.

What is the anti-anti-imperialist alternative to the
call for the establishment of a Plaestinian state? I
have asked this question before, but never received an
answer. Political theory is useless unless it can
sponsor some sort of political practice - where is the
anti-anti-imperialist practice, in relation to
Palestine? Where is the solidarity, and where are the
demands? 

At least Peter has had the honesty to admit to not
being able to put his theory into practice.

Cheers
Scott
