The real aim of the current Bush/Cheney oil cabal, hiding behind the fig leaf of "fighting terrorism," is of course--due to the rising global tide of anti-globalization consciousness--a bald-faced attempt in "saving Private Capital."
Keep up your valiant efforts for the "Good Fight" in helping to bring about a new Collective & sustainable Future for the benefit of the vast majority of 6 billion Earth inhabitants. You have nothing to lose but your ideological and financial chains!

I expect idiotic SWP to chime in saying 'it want really socialist, dont support stalinism' and so on. Wrong ! Trotsky made it clear that every attempt at socialism should be supported as far as possible and certainly against western capitalist imperialism.
Fools Fools Fools !
