Ashley Smith: Which Way Forward for the Antiwar Movement? | Counter Punch
Posted by Faiz on June 28th, 2008
Commentary on the demoralised and struggling U.S. antiwar movement.
“The combination of the pull of the election on mass antiwar sentiment and UFPJ’s liberal strategy of orienting on Democrats has precipitated a crisis in the antiwar movement. At a national level, it is really the weakest it has been since the beginning of the Iraq war. It is in near collapse. Even at a local level there are real weaknesses in antiwar organizations on campuses, in cities, and at workplaces. Thus there is an enormous gap between consciousness and the organized movement.”
