Trump

To My Friends on the Left: Hillary Clinton Is Not the Enemy

Submitted by subir on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 1:06pm

Jeffrey Isaacs published a letter today in The Nation. I would quibble with a few things in it, for example, it is addressed to a successful professional audience and is somewhat oblivious to the travails of those who are not. Hillary’s foreign policy is certainly “within a bipartisan mainstream” as Issacs says. Yet this should only be taken as an indictment of this “bipartisan mainstream”.

Anyone who has read my essays knows I am an old time Latino anarcho-communist who supports revolutions such as those in Bolivia, Venezuela and most lately in Rosava. I have consistently denounced USA war crimes, crimes against humanity, corruption and subversion of our governments in Latin America and the Caribbean. I am no racist xenophobe, and couldn't be even if I had a psychological disability.

Not for the first time, I find myself shaking my head at the apparent either:

A. lapse in recollection
or
B. somewhat startling contemporary obliviousness

exhibited by a whole lot of people with respect to "norms" of social-sexual behavior, and especially, what those norms were back in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
