Imperialism AfricanDiaspora.Info Topic Index The ABC of National Liberation Movements Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 1969 A war is politics continued by other, that is forcible, means. Our attitude toward a war must be congruent with our attitude toward the politics of which it is the continuation. This determines our principled position on the question of whether to support or oppose a given war # not primarily our opinion of the men, the government or the class leading the war, not our opinion of their past or present crimes. The latter considerations will be very relevant to how we support or oppose a war, but not to whether we do.

The Invading Socialist Society Resource Type: Book Published: 1947 History has shown that in moments of great social crisis, its farthest flights fall short of the reality of the proletarian revolution. Never was the proletariat so ready for the revolutionary struggle, never was the need for it so great, never was it more certain that the proletarian upheaval, however long delayed, will only the more certainly take humanity forward in the greatest leap forward it has hitherto made.

Inventing Reality The Politics of News Media Resource Type: Book Published: 1993 Parenti sets out to demonstrate how the news media distort important aspects of social and political life and why they do. The Junius Pamphlet The Crisis of Social Democracy Resource Type: Book Published: 1916 The voting of war credits in August 1914 was a shattering moment in the life of individual socialists and of the socialist movement in Europe. Those who had worked for and wholly believed in the ability of organized labour to stand against war now saw the major social democratic parties of Germany, France, and England rush to the defense of their fatherlands. Worker solidarity had proved an impotent myth. Rosa Luxemburg had for years warned against the stultifying effects of the overly bureaucratized German Social Democratic Party and the anti-revolutionary tendencies of the trade unions that played such a large role in the party's policy decisions. She spent much of the war in jail, where she wrote and then smuggled this pamphlet.

Man's Worldly Goods The Story of the Wealth of Nations Resource Type: Book Published: 1968 Manufacturing Consent The Political Economy of the Mass Media Resource Type: Book Published: 1988 Contrary to the usual image of the press and cantankerous, obstinate, and ubiquitious in its search for truth, Herman and Chomsky depict how an underlying elite consensus largely structures all facets of the news.

Marcus Gee's Confusion Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 1999 The United States didn't 'fair to intervene' in East Timor -- it intervened massively, on the side of the Indonesian invaders. Multiculturalism or World Culture? On a "Left"-Wing Response to Contemporary Social Breakdown Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2000 Post-modernists are profoundly bored by any questions of economics and technology which cannot be connected to cultural differences. The implicit agenda of the multiculturalists is to present the values associated with intensive capitalist accumulation as "white male", so "non-white" peoples such as Japanese or Koreans who currently embody those values with a greater fervour than most "whites" are ignored. The National Question Selected Writings by Rosa Luxemburg Resource Type: Book Published: 1976 In her penetrating analysis of nationalism, Rosa Luxemburg argues that the formula, -- the right of nations to self-determination -- is essentially not a political and problematic guideline in the nationality question, but only a means of avoiding that question. A New British Provocation in Palestine Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 1946 British imperialism, for years on end, has attempted to direct the ire of the Arab masses against the Jewish population of the country. For this purpose the policy of Zionist expansion has been supported, a policy which results in the eviction of Arab tenants from the land, drives Arab workers from jobs, and strengthens the Zionist fortress which is determined to establish a Jewish State in Palestine. Imperialist support for Zionism is calculated to achieve two results: One, to establish a power which directly supports it, which will constitute a faithful ally against the Arabs in every instance of an anti-imperialist uprising of the Arabs of the Middle East; the other, to have Zionism serve as a means of diverting the ire of the oppressed Arab masses away from imperialism onto a side issue # clashes with Jews.
