Simplicity itself, my friend:

• Visit International Answer's web site

• Click on "Coalition".

• Select Steering Committe from the pop-up menu (you may not have to do this)

• Note the existance of the "Korea Truth Commission" as a member of the Steering Comittee.

• Note that they don't provide links to the coalition members, even the Steering Committee members. Perhaps they are embarassed by the results?

• Do a Google search for "Korea Truth Commission". It's not difficult to figure out that the Commission is a propaganda arm of the North Korean government, leaden prose and all

I hope that helps with your question. They're pretty open on who they are; you just have to know where to look :-).

HOWTO: Build a revolutionary people's fighting cadre
by Mao T'se al Milsoevic • Friday January 17, 2003 Frit 02:57 PM


1) Create a front-group. The ANSWER "coalition" is a very good example which involves several layers of front. At the top is the frothy coalition which involves the religious, frothy peacenik groups, and some "anti-war" groups like Not In Our Name and International Action Center.
Beneath this icing we find that NION is run by the Revolutionary Communist Party and the IAC is run by the Workers World Party. Hiding yourself and your policies is the only way that you're going to be able to trick people into agreeing with you after all.

2) Advocate (secretly, not in the front-group of course!) strong-arm, end-justifies-the-means methods for achieving a "dictatorship of the proletariat". Be sure that you ignore the lessons of history.

3) A consequence of point 2 is that you will defend the "degenerate worker's states" of Saddam Hussein (after all the Ba'ath Party does call itself socialist right) and Kim Il Jong (nice little dictatorship of the proletariat there) and Slobodan Milosevic (he was resisting Yankee Imperialism and he was a member of the socialist dictatorship so he must be good too).

4) Make sure that you accuse critics of "red-baiting". After all, you're a socialist and they're criticising you so they must be right-wing!

5) BUILD YOUR PARTY STRUCTURE. This is the most important thing. It's the main point of your involvement in the anti-war campaigns that the deluded Christians, hippys and Buddhists are tricked into participating in. Above all recruit and gather funds. The success/failure of the possibility of an effective coalition against Bush is secondary to the goal of accreting more party structure.

6) Have more marches. Marches give people something to do and they all do it in one safe places under your "leadership". That way you get credit for leading the anti-war movement, recruit a few members and swell the coffers. Without marches people would be out protesting all over the city, but with marches everyone can blow off steam. The cops can photograph them, the media can ignore them and no-one more than a couple of blocks away will have any idea that there's an anti-war movement. Without marches people would be holding weekly vigils all over the city, putting up anti-war billboards, doing banner-drops, wheat-pasting, calling TV and radio shows.

7) Stifle opposition (especially from anarchists). The easiest way to do this is to criticize them for criticizing you. Oh wait, that's black-baiting isn't it?
