Naderista !

FACT: barack obama is a neo-liberal imperialist. FACT: barack obama is just another elite establishment politician who is committed to the task of capital preservation. FACT: obama is funded by the financial oligarchy that engineered the global market crash in the first place. to refuse to face these FACTS is to engage in self delusion at a time when principled pro-working class, anti-capitalist initiative is necessary.

*

barack obama will preside over the imposition of austerity measures at home that will lead to the collapse of  middle class living standards and the lumpenisation of the working class. barack obama will consolidate the dominion of financial state capitalism and back it up with police state terror. barack obama is being selected to the office of president of the united states by the financial oligarchy that truly rules america precisely because their system is in need of a politically correct distraction as a precondition to driving ordinary people into third world living standards.

*

TO ASK AMERICAN WORKERS TO VOTE FOR OBAMA IS TO ASK THEM TO STAB THEMSELVES IN THE BACK.

*

that barack obama is african american does not make him objectively progressive in any sense. the continent of africa is full of pro-western dictators that preside over the mass immiseration of the african peoples and who rutinely subordinate their interests to the IMF/WB. obama's ethnic looks are NOT a basis to vote for him. to grant obama a vote because of his ethnicity is RACIST and IRRATIONAL. any "socialist" worth his salt should know this.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE IS IT JUSTIFIED FOR A RADICAL SOCIALIST OR AN ANTI-CAPITALIST TO VOTE FOR NEOLIBERAL IMPERIALIST BARACK OBAMA !

"Talking Red"

i object that the only two legitimate alternatives to obama (a neoliberal imperialist) and mc cain (a neoconservative imperialist) - from the perspective of the RADICAL SOCIALIST sector – could be ralph nader at minimum, and the campaign recently initiated by the party for socialism and liberation at best (where it might be on the ballot). when i state this i am proceeding from the perspective that THE POINT of these campaigns is not to get-out-the-vote for nader or the psl. radical socialist and “marxist” persons should know better than anyone that the 2008 election is as fixed as where those in 2000 and 2004, and that given the reality of endemic voter fraud, through list purges and voting machine rigging, there is no guarantee the votes casted will be counted accurately. the aim is not either to seek to “pressure obama” or “keep him accountable” because obama is already bought and paid for by the business interests that fund him, and he has never been a part of “the left” to begin with.

Radical Socialists seek to become ACTIVE with these alternative left campaigns between now and november 4th, to organise in favour of platform positions that aim to expose the electoral public to social and ecological perspectives and SOLUTIONS that are marginalised from public discourse in context of this false election process. i interject the term “false”, because i am clear further; that the election constitutes a stage managed media event designed to refurbish the “democratic” credentials of united states imperialism at a time of domestic and global (food, energy and credit) crisis of neoliberal capitalism. by "legitimate" and "independent", i mean that the nader and psl campaigns are in no way connected (directly or indirectly) to the democrat party or receive funding from it or from neoliberal foundations associated with it. as i wrote before: i take issue with the idea that dennis kucinich and cynthia mckinney represent a progressive agenda, the first is actually a [bait and switch] democrat party agent of disinformation whose task is to mislead the subjective left into dead ends; [mc kinney] is a democrat party operative who presides over the hijacking and transformation of the united states green party into a democrat party front group which backhandedly campaigns for obama by not challenging him. the proof is in that the green party is calling for votes for mckinney only in so called "safe states". a legitimate effort to present a left antinomian agenda must take as its starting point the premise that a TOTAL break with the democrat party is necessary in order to articulate and build an independent campaign.

as a concluding objection, I propose that the correct choice for radical socialist candidates in the united states should be to BECOME INVOLVED with the party of socialism and liberation in states where they appear on the ballot, and with the nader campaign in states where the psl is not on the ballot.

· (…AND THROW MANAGEMENT IN THE BROOM CLOSET)

The above is the Nader-Gonzalez platform for 2008.

The Obama cult does not convince me. Like it or not, he is just another corporatist centrist. The return of "Kerry" style political branding. THE MAN with an African-American face. A sophisticated form of liberal deceit disguised with the veneer of identity politics. Neither Obama nor Hillary represent "change", but only the illusion of it. Granted that THE SYSTEM would never allow Ralph Nader to win and will do everything in its power to emasculate his candidacy- but principle is principle. My endorsement for Ralph Nader is directly related to the motto of this blog: "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

VOTE SOCIALIST IN 2004

[Election 2004: International Communist VOTE SOCIALIST Appeal to the Radical Socialist Community existing behind the USA Patriot Curtain. It was posted on left newsgroups on Yahoo! and on Indymedia San Francisco. It rejected voting for Kerry on anti-capitalist and anti-war grounds.]

GO DOWN FIGHTING !

Radical Socialists DO NOT capitulate to opportunist pressures. Radical Socialists do not vote for liberal capitalist politicians and parties that openly boast their rejection of socialist values. Radical Socialists vote for Radical Socialists. For Radical Socialists capitalist elections are simply an opportunity to propagandise against the capitalist political-economy and agitate for revolutionary social and economic transformation.

THE GOAL of Radical Socialists is to extend democracy beyond the political into the social and economic sphere. Radical Socialists know perfectly well that even if they where to ''win'' the popular vote thay would not be allowed to take office in a capitalist state. Radical Socialists know that a vote for liberal capitalists -like John Kerry- will do NOTHING to bring about Radical Socialism - a victory for the neo-liberals only means that the capitalist system of plunder, imperialism, racism and exploitation gets a ''democrat''make over. Lipstick on a pigs face. 

THERE IS NO SOCIALIST CASE FOR KERRY.

Kerry is a political free-loader and an opportunist. His own supporters admit that he is a liar. Kerry defends the occupation of Iraq. He voted for the war. Kerry defends the blocade against Cuba. Kerry defends the anti- Palestinian policies of the Israeli State.

Beyond that; Kerry opposes gay marriage, he opposes increasing the minimum wage to a living wage. Kerry and his supporters believe that they are ''entitled'' to take working class people, ethnic minorities, and the left for granted. They believe that your vote ''belongs'' to them. They believe that YOU belong to them. Your vote does not and YOU DO NOT. Your vote belongs to your values. It belongs to the best interests of the working class and all who suffer oppression under global capitalism and imperialism.

A vote for Kerry is NOT in the best interest of the U.S working class. A Kerry victory would make the United States even more dangerous than it is now. A Kerry victory will make it palatable for the plutocracies of Western Europe to ''join in'' in the plunder of Iraq and central Asia. 

Send the ''democrats'' a message that you are not fooled.

VOTE SOCIALIST. 

VOTE NADER. 

A socialist program for jobs, education, health care ...

Stop the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan! Withdraw all US troops now! ...
