Bill Weinberg, "The Politics of the Anti-War Movement"
"The Politics of the Anti-War Movement"
A Discussion with Bill Weinberg
New York City, September 21, 2005 at 7:30 p.m.
Hard-left elements of the anti-war movement affirm the abstract right of the
Iraqi people to resist the occupation, but fail to grapple with the
realities of Iraq's actually-existing armed resistance. The more moderate
elements dodge the question entirely.
Yet there is an active left opposition in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the
regime it protects, and the jihadi and Baathist "resistance" alike. It is this besieged
opposition, under threat of assassination and persecution, which is fighting to
keep alive elementary freedoms for women, leading labor struggles against
Halliburton and other US contractors, and demanding a secular future for Iraq. For all
the incessant factional splits in the US anti-war movement, providing this
real, progressive Iraqi resistance concrete solidarity is not even on the
agenda.How can we build an effective anti-war movement which is based on
principles of international solidarity, and loan a voice to our natural
allies in Iraq? Join us in a discussion with award-winning journalist Bill
Weinberg.

in Mexico_ (Verso 2000), and editor of the on-line _World War 4 Report_
