Imperialism And Resistance

Perhaps one of the finest books written on the history of Latin America, and the colonial-imperialist plunder of the nations under the gun of capitalism. This is the book that President Chavez gave to Obama at the meeting of Las Americas in Trinidad and Tobago.

The Non-Aligned Movement’s conference’s backing (118 countries) which echoes the group’s previous declarations, acts to “remove this notion that the international community opposes the nuclear activities of Iran,” said Iran’s Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki.

Words such as “international community” “civilized world” “democratic world” , when uttered by the imperialists, refer to, of-course, only the United States, and its allies and puppet regimes. Anyone else who might actually be independent, and act as a normal state, people, community – are categorized as “uncivilized,” “extremists” etc.

The contender for the imperial presidency (Obama) words in Berlin are instructive, that he clearly, like Bush and McCain, considers the enemy and problem to be located amongst Muslims, the dude says:

“If we could win a battle of ideas against the communists, we can stand with the vast majority of Muslims who reject the extremism that leads to hate instead of hope,” the Democratic senator said.

Fact is, the majority of the people of the world, and especially the vast vast majority of Muslims (i.e. the real international community) consider the US to be the problem. The momineen of the world do not need, or want imperialists to be standing around – rather, if they find such people near, it would be a good idea to either move away, or push ‘em away.

And yes, Muslims not only can, but are willing, and do stand with that minority of Americans who not only reject their country’s extremism that leads to hate instead of hope, but also act against their country’s rogue acts around the world. And we hope that minority, one day, will become a majority, inshallah.
