Who killed off the Mass Anti-War Movement?

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Friday June 22, 2007 15:08author by Erich Muehsam Report this post to the editors

Yes, once upon a time there was a Mass Anti-War Movement in Britain but it was destroyed. How did this calamity occur and who was responsible? Torab Saleth of Workers Left Unity Iran points the finger at the SWP for its pro-Tehran apologetics. The full article is available at the url below

Have you ever wondered what happened to the mass anti-war movement which in London alone brought out almost two million people before the invasion of Iraq in February 2003? How come no such huge response is at hand when we are faced with a similar plan for Iran?

Who killed it off? And how?

Well, if you want a short answer, just follow the practice of a large section of the British left led by the Socialist Workers Party. Don’t think, just follow the SWP - they can show you all you need to know about making the movement unattractive to almost all decent human beings: by collaborating with supporters of the semi-fascistic islamic fundamentalist regime in Iran.

Ask British workers to march alongside the same people who are imprisoning, torturing and killing their fellow workers in Iran and carry posters saying, “We are all Hezbollah now!” Or ask students, teachers, writers, women activists, academics and peace campaigners to come out and oppose the imperialist war while holding hands with the supporters of those who are killing their brothers and sisters in Iran and who collaborate with the same imperialist armies in Iraq and Afghanistan. Better still, make tens of thousands of Iranian exiles feel threatened in Britain itself by bringing out the same Hezbollah thugs that kill and torture their comrades back home and shower them with SWP posters and placards.
