Imperialist rulers have come to a terrible realization, that anti-Amerikkkanism really is on the rise and will scuttle their fine plans regarding even "terrorism," something they never imagined possible on 9/11. Both British and U.$. officials have to make admissions, just as Blair is leaving office in England and as elections in November loom in the united $tates.
Was it MIM Notes you were reading or did the Los Angeles Times just
say that "Anti-Americanism is providing a glue."(1) It seems that facts are getting
harder and harder to cover up, even in the government mouthpiece media:
"When people in largely Muslim nations were asked whether they approved of 'U.S.- led efforts to fight terrorism,' 82% in Egypt said no, as did 74% in Jordan, 77% in Turkey and 50% in Pakistan. The results in some European countries were similar. In Spain, 76% of those surveyed said they did not approve; in France, it was 57%."(1)Seeing the poll numbers, poor prime minister Tony Blair in England complained about "mad anti-Americanism" even in imperialist continental Europe.(2)
Meanwhile, Bush's poll numbers in September have risen 8 points on the strength of falling gas prices in the united $tates.(3) It goes to show the lack of reality among those who believe that targeting Bush in particular is accomplishing anything for internationalism.
On August 30, a Washington Post columnist concluded, "rising anti-Americanism may in the end harm the U.S.' own commercial and economic interests, not only by stalling businesses abroad, but back at home."(4)
A Bush long-time favorite is Undersecretary of State Karen Hughes.
"'The anti-Americanism, the concern around the world ... this ideological struggle, it's not going to change' quickly, Undersecretary of State Karen Hughes said in an interview with The Associated Press. 'It's going to be the work of years and maybe decades.'"(5)
A report of all 16 spy agencies in the united $tates just concluded that the Iraq War increased the number of "Islamic extremists" or "terrorists" as the imperialists call them.(6) Bush found himself having to deny the intelligence report, just because of elections in November.
To top it all off, USA Today just reported that 61% of all Iraqis favor killing Amerikkkans.(7) Now we ask you readers, why were you listening to Rumsfeld when MIM told you what was going to happen before the Iraq War.
Even the State Department's own poll of Iraqis show that two-thirds want Amerikkkans out of the country immediately.(7) Nonetheless, puppet President Jalal Talibani opposes his own people and wants to keep the Amerikkkans there.
The imperialists had to admit that a rising tide of anti-Amerikkkanism has thrown them off their game around the world. They admit to losing in Darfur as an example, but they point to that to rally U.$. public opinion. In fact, the imperialists are losing battles around the world, because public opinion is tipping. In the united $tates and England, MIM is no where, but globally MIM's opinions are at the cutting edge.
Amerikkkans cannot yet see why they seem to be in this global pattern. They understand this or that piece. What is missing is the overall theory of imperialism and how Amerikkkans have become bought off to the point of complacency against capitalism while the rest of the world has become more and more discontented. The increase in Amerikkkan militarism is the sure-fire guarantor to set off an increased response of the oppressed. But Amerikkkans themselves do not understand the social forces that impel them to gain the hatred of the world at this time. This is something like a splinter in the eye that will have to be pulled out by force. After Amerikkkans have paid reparations and understand something of the economic conditions of the rest of the world from direct experience, they will understand the political outlook of the rest of the world. This will require the joint dictatorship of the proletariat of the oppressed nations and the re-civilizing stage prior to the construction of socialism.
The lesson of anti-Amerikkkanism is the strength of the oppressed and exploited. The imperialists whipped up a frenzied campaign with World Trade Center photos in hand and opposition to "terrorism." It seemed that no one could oppose them with such a seemingly neutral goal; yet, the rulers derailed themselves and the oppressed and exploited have responded to a global political campaign of anti-Amerikkkanism. It shows we should never doubt the strength of the international proletariat. It may take a while to show up, but that strength is there for real, no matter what the imperialists come up with, and no matter what crazy warmongering ideas the Amerikkkans, Brits and other imperialist populations might have.
