RE:	Leaflet / mass disribution 2/15 LA

CAPITALISM MEANS WAR,
MORE WAR,
AND THEN MORE WAR!

Capitalism is a global system of exploitation, production for maximum
profit,
and ruthless competition and plunder. In its thirst for markets, natural
resources
and lowest wage production, capitalist corporations and businesses must
compete
world-wide to secure the highest rates of profit possible, at any cost.

U.S. capitalism is about to launch yet another blitzkrieg war to quickly
seize
the rich Iraqi Oil fields before any powerful workers' anti-capitalist
movements
can be built up. The U.S. anti-war movement must target the capitalist
system
because this system's continuation of 'business as usual'  inevitably means
more
deadly capitalist wars abroad and deepening attacks on the working class at
home
The oh so patriotic bosses' policy is "United we stand" on your necks so
they can
continue their scorched earth assaults on workers' living standards by
slashing
health care, education, jobs, the environment, etc.

On the Slogan "Support Our Troops"
Don't fall for the ruling class propaganda of "support our troops."
This is a devious method of trying to unite the anti-war movement with the
warmongers in the Pentagon, Congress, the White House and Wall  Street,
who are the real "axis of evil."  "Support our troops" means in practice
lending
support to the Oil War, mass murder and more empire building.  This is a key
tactic
of  both parties of war, Republicans and Democrats, a "bi-partisan" method
of ideo-
logically making common ground with their various constituencies to back
imperialist war.

In reality, the U.S. government doesn't give a damn about "the troops" once
they've been chewed up and spit out as cannon fodder for capital's
profiteering.
In past wars hundreds of thousands of troops have returned from the killing
fields
with their lives physically and/or mentally shattered.  These troops have
often been
ignored or swept aside for years with the Veterans Administration and War
Department
telling them "its all in your mind."

The plundering and bloodsucking will increase until the workers and their
allies get
organized in new organizations that have as their ultimate goal, the
overthrow of the
whole wage slave order.  Let's build a revolutionary movement that fights
for a worker
ruled society that will abolish wage slavery, money, buying and selling,
profits, nation states,
competition, poverty, racism and sexism, and create a system of social
control of production
geared to meet human needs.
