It was a short leaflet from the Ray O. Light, but it had some heavy lifting, so we will handle it separately from the others. Ray O. Light tries to explain imperialism in a page. It rightly says that the wars are coming about because of the dominance of finance capital over "the vast majority of the population of the world" as Lenin said.
Today, with the Black Book of Communism as ammunition, the imperialists of Europe are trying to ban communism. Yet Lenin's words ring out from his day before decolonization struggles made headway in the Third World: it was capitalism that brought the world earth-covering colonialism. It is the capitalist parties that should be banned.
The shocking thing about Ray O. Light is that they are u.$.-based, but they share MIM's line using the prism of nationality instead of race. Ray O. Light favors liberation of a Black nation and "Occupied Mexico." There are other organizations such as one cult organization that claims to use nationality instead of race, but it opposes national liberation of oppressed nations and for all practical purposes shares the multiracial unity approach of the Trotskyists and reformists like Martin Luther King.
Contrary to some previous Ray O. Light literature, this leaflet downplays the labor aristocracy question. "The interests of the US working class are diametrically opposed to those of their monopoly capitalist rulers."
In this leaflet, Ray O. Light tries to imply that the United Front for Peace and Justice organizers of the rally are wrong. Unlike MIM, Ray O. Light no longer sees the national unity of a petty-bourgeois oppressor population with its imperialists. Ray O. Light tries to tell the demonstrators they are workers who need to separate from their imperialists. MIM sees that as counter-productive today, because it will only end up being identity politics used to deny co-responsibility for imperialist wars. The whole "I'm a worker" trip is actually being used to depoliticize people inside imperialist country borders. "I'm a member of the world's leading terrorist state and I pay taxes" is more progressive than "workerist" politics today in the imperialist countries. There is no proletarian thrust from the oppressor nations to tap into.
The Ray O. Light slogans "Regime change is not enough. System change is required. No to the World's No. 1 Terrorist! No to the No. 1 Exploiter of the World's People!" are good.
