attenzione alle bugie su genova nel mondo anglosassone!!!
by amoeba 12:36am Sat Dec 8 '01

social worker's party put out an issue of
international socialism dedicated to genoa. in which there are a lot of lies!!!!!! unfortunately, they are being listen at in the USA, where not a lot is known about Genoa..(in terms of different views of the protest)

nell'ultima conferenza tenutasi a new york "globalization and resisitance",
swp/left (socialist workers party) ha concluso i due giorni con alex callinicox, -il loro ideologo, autore del libro "against postmodernism" -publicizzando la sua teoria su cio' che e' successo a genova: il black block e' stato influenzato dal libro Empire di Negri. e infatti hanno sbagliato tutto a genova... !!!!!!! ma quanti hanno letto quel librone in italia??? e quanti anarchici in generale???? ci sono altre varie semplificazioni che in italia sembrano cosi assurde...purtroppo queste idee sono passate come plausibile e accettabile a new york.. e cioe' e' preoccupante alla luce delle relazioni tra il movimento e i gruppi organizzati che stanno tentanto disperatamente di usare il momento di crisi per reclutare... infatti sono nati alleati di socialist worker party nelgi stati uniti , si chiamano left turn... comunque vale la pena di leggerlo....
-----
this issue of International Socialism Journal, is dedicated to what a happend in genova, called " the greatest battle"..... one article argues that Negri's theory is an impoverished body of ideas as incapable of providing intellectual guidance to the new movement as the Black Bloc is of providing practical guidance. ..of course the answer to all problems is organizing the working class into a political party...

what is worrysome is the attempt of make this point spread and credible about genova, all over the english speaking world. in this sense, it is important to notcie the alliance of socialist workers party with the recently formed left form.
