PermalinkSeems to be a rather accurate depiction of our mental geography, I'm sorry to say.
Actually, scratch that - I don't think Americans know enough of our own history to draw the parallels between Vietnam - Cambodia and Afghanistan - Pakistan. Clearly that one is an inside joke for non-Americans.

PermalinkMocking Americans for, say, believing in UFOs, is not constructive. Also it is no surprise that allegiance to US interests against rival imperialist powers such as Iran, Venezuela, Brazil, and Bolivia, just as an Iranian proletariat may be easily sold a mass-manufactured anti-American and pro-Iranian ideology. This T-shirt is an elitist joke that doesn't help in spreading clear messages to smash false consciousness and rally the international class struggle. Rather it enforces anti-Americanism which is counter-productive.

Kasama is a communist project for the forcible overthrow and transformation of all existing social conditions. We are open to learning, unafraid to admit our own uncertainties. We will not shrink from what we do know: the solutions cannot be found within the current world order or the choices it provides. We are for revolution. We seek to find the forms of organization and action for the people most dispossessed by this system to free themselves and all humanity.
To take this road, we need a fearless, open-eyed debate, discussion and engagement. We need fresh analyses of the rapid changes shaping the world around us. We need to sum up a century of revolutionary strategies and attempts, victories and defeats – instead of the conventional wisdom and facile verdicts that paralyze our movements. We need to re-imagine a radical politics that can take life among people and move mountains.
Dig in.
