Doing apologetics for an invasion and a war isn't the way to appeal to this anti-imperialist, and is quite irreconcilable with the message of the planned March 18 rally.

Interesting piece otherwise and full of helpful links. Where can one find evidence for this: "PCUSA ... endorsed Russia’s anti-fascist war." It's weird to see such a representation without a quote or direct link.

That's because Rainer is a little pro-genocide psychopath who admits he gets all his "news" from Grey Zone.

The PSL and ANSWER are ops. These orgs are ran by the CIA. A respectable org like PCUSA shouldn't bolster the reputation of such orgs. Of course all should participate in this anti-war camp, the idea of it is to be a large tent front.

The increased consumption of European capital by the US didn't fail, many new contracts were signed exclusively with the US as a result of these accepted sanctions. Why do you think there has been political peace in Europe? If they were not singing Washington's tune, have we seen such characters stay in power in the past while doing this? Look at Georgia. They insist on being sovereign and how has Washington responded to such a simple law as labeling their agents as foreign to Georgia?

I would also like to point out that given the mainstay of COINTELPRO being get the left to commit crimes to destroy the movement, I would recommend you tread lightly and cautiously while working with such characters. In this case the tactics one can advocate are limited. Petty bourgeois tactics such as those the anarchists use will only lead to such a trap.
