Re: Meeting on the Stuggle for Justice 4 Sean Bell

Workers World Party formerly the backers of A.N.S.W.E.R. and now with Troops Out Now, International Action Center and F.I.S.T. and of course sticking their nose into the Sean Bell incident. Can't we just once have a case that the authoritarian commies don't get involved with can't we actually get justice for Sean Bell and his family rather than going almost nowhere with useless communist fronts. I mean if WWP and FIST were going to go out and get rid of those cops that shot Sean then great they did something good but if they are just going to have their preprinted signs and exploit Sean and his family so they can raise more money to print more signs and to be even more irrelevant. Authoritarianism has no place on the left it is very much a right wing ideology and we should be running things more collectively and democratically or WWP can just admit they are a right wing group and go bicker with PSL about which commie dictator was better!

Define "authoritarianism".
 

Re: Re: Re: Meeting on the Stuggle for Justice 4 Sean Bell

From Wikipedia: "Authoritarianism means a form of social control characterized by strict obedience to the authority of a state."


What the WWP/IAC is not communism but the worshipping of communist dictators while trying to run a movement that began leaderless in nature and got co-opted by the WWP (now it would be Party for Socialism and Liberation because WWP split off from ANSWER to form IAC and ANSWER became the PSL)

Here is more in info about WWP/IAC/ANSWER
infoshop.org/page/WWP-FAQ

The idea of a real social movement is not that their are leaders or groups bogarting the cause but that we all work together for a common goal without the need for leaders and we have real coalitions not just coalitions with ourselves (like ANSWER) Especially with what ANSWER or IAC is doing at marches and rallies they come out with signs that have little to do with the issue at hand IE: Lumping LGBTQQI rights with anti war stuff or endless signs about the conflict in Israel/Palestine (an issue that american activists try to stick their noses in at every possible occasion rather than focusing on issues here at home and when out at other events they cannot seem to move focus, not to say that we shouldn't try and stop the violence but that really cannot be done from here other than via divestment and blowing up weapons manufacturing (and that is not something we are going to see most activists doing)
