Since we are not “anti” any other nationalism but apparently we are “Anti-Zionist” the non-socialist observer could gain the impression that we are anti-Semitic.
Lew’s point is still valid. The whole thing is indeed problematic. ‘Anti-Semitic’, now generally being equated with anti-Jewish (racist) sentiment and anti-Zionist with opposition to a peculiar and particular form of nationalism, which is not the usual indigenous type of declaring independance for a specific area, but the usurpation of the previously shared territory of Palestine for a specific religious group of indigenous and incoming Jewish settlers.

There is nothing wrong in highlighting it, in total, as Marx does here,
“Whilst the cotton industry introduced child-slavery in England, it gave in the United States a stimulus to the transformation of the earlier, more or less patriarchal slavery, into a system of commercial exploitation. In fact, the veiled slavery of the wage workers in Europe needed, for its pedestal, slavery pure and simple in the new world.
Tantae molis erat, to establish the “eternal laws of Nature” of the capitalist mode of production, to complete the process of separation between labourers and conditions of labour, to transform, at one pole, the social means of production and subsistence into capital, at the opposite pole, the mass of the population into wage labourers, into “free labouring poor,” that artificial product of modern society. [13] If money, according to Augier, [14] “comes into the world with a congenital blood-stain on one cheek,” capital comes dripping from head to foot, from every pore, with blood and dirt. [15] The Genesis of Industrial Capitalism.
But, as you know the ends we seek, a truly social equal society, are determined by the means used and this sets us particular challenges in our polemical discourses.
I got a reply of sorts from them in my email, from a Stephen Chenoweth, which seems to show he hadn’t read or understood the points in the the article link I posted.
“Not really talking about local, commercial banks. Just the Central Bankers of the world, and the Federal Reserve in this country… and the 12 “children” under them, the Reserve Banks all across this country. That’s where the money comes from. And the Fed just created $2.3 TRILLION more out of thin air.They estimate there’s $37 trillion circulating in the world now. And how much debt? $257 trillion. Don’t even try to make sense of it. We’re getting rid of banks COMPLETELY in the future. We don’t need banks and we don’t need bankers. We want to free the bankers and let them have the opportunity to do meaningful work.Open source software can handle transactions in a temporary monetary system until we make the change. And besides, everyone who works in the financial sector actually creates … NOTHING. Nothing real or tangible, no products that people need and want. NOTHING. Don’t need that anymore. Can you imagine what a wonderful world we can create without the vampires? And no corporations, either… just like the founders of this country wanted. Take care, my friend. Best to you.”That is a pity.
I posted a reply to them to the effect that their argument is seriously flawed with link into,
and our pamphlet,
From Capitalism to Socialism – How We Live and How We Could Live
I won’t hold my breath waiting for a reply.
An article by our comrades in the WSPUS,
U.S. District Judge Michael Simon today blocked federal agents in Portland from dispersing, arresting, threatening to arrest, or targeting force against journalists or legal observers at protests. The court’s order, which comes in response to a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon, adds the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Marshals Service to an existing injunction barring Portland police from arresting or attacking journalists and legal observers at Portland protests.

One bloke saw his likeness in a pile of vomit and from that miraculous day to this has never been sober.
The parasite class are at it already.
British Gas-owner Centrica will tell thousands of staff to accept new working conditions, including no extra overtime pay, or risk their jobs.
The firm said if employees don’t sign the contract, there will be a fresh wave of redundancies, although it insists that is a “last resort”.
Centrica has already outlined 5,000 job cuts as customer numbers tumble.
The firm said it had “been open about the changes” needed to win back customers.
The proposals are all subject to a consultation period with unions, the company stressed.
“Our employees’ base pay and pensions will be protected, but simplifying and modernising their terms is essential if we’re to become more flexible and price competitive,” said Centrica.
Why do you insist on repeating this rubbish? The erroneous description of socialism contained within this article have already been well and truly trounced here.
It is just spam promoting a personal blog with potential advertising streams. I have replied in his blog but do not expect him to publish it.
In the meantime he is blocked until he reponds to my contact of him.
