From a recent AIM report --

ON OCTOBER 26 AN “ANTI-WAR” DEMONSTRATION ORGANIZED BY AN OUTFIT CALLED “International ANSWER” was held in Washington. It was carried live on C-SPAN through an interminable series of boring speeches by various strains of radicals. A driving force behind it was Brian Becker, who reporters identified as “co-director of the International Action Center, one of the groups that make up International ANSWER.” International ANSWER is a front of the International Action Center, which seems to function as a front of the communist Workers World Party. Larry Holmes, one of the organizers and a speaker at the demonstration, has served on the secretariat of the WWP. Becker is a leading member of the WWP and was a key organizer of the pro-Palestinian demonstration in Washington on April 20. He is also a supporter of the Stalinist North Korean Communist dictatorship.

THEN, AS NOW, THE MEDIA IGNORED HIS COMMUNIST CONNECTIONS, BUT RIVAL SOCIAL- ist groups believe the Workers World Party works too closely with the national Democratic Party. Helen Halyard of the World Socialist Web Site editorial board said that Workers World “acts to prop up the Democrats” and has a “political orientation to the Democratic Party.” She noted that when Jesse Jackson ran for the Democratic Party presidential nomination in 1988, he was backed by Sam Marcy, founder of the Workers World Party. Jackson and Al Sharpton both delivered what the Washington Times called “rousing speeches” at the so-called anti-war rally on October 26. We say so-called because it is clear that Becker, Holmes and their followers are not really against war. They are only against wars that target enemies of America. But that wasn’t made clear to the public either before or after this protest took place. Perhaps journalists realize that the truth would ultimately embarrass their friends in the Democratic Party.

I was considering this the other day, the peace movement of today and all peace protests, marches etc have something very much in common with communism.

In all the history of the peace movement, going back over a hundred years, they never, NEVER have been successful at preventing a war, yet still they continue to follow the same
failure laden behaviour.

In this they are so much like Socialist/communists who continue to espouse their political beliefs in spite of the
history of their complete and utter failure.
The Democrat party to this day continues to support socialism with an , "I know it didn't work before, but
we can make it work here mentality."
