IAC is not "Stalinist"

Former Attorney General of the US Ramsey Clark is a member of the International Action Center and Answer. He is a very courageous and moral person, who has spoken out for years against the sanctions killing Iraqi children and the depleted uranium which has given them cancer and birth defects. I really don't think that he or other members of his organization are great admirers of Stalin.
During the 60s and 70s in the US, one of the favorite tactics of the CIA and FBI operations against the Black Panthers and American Indian Movement was to spread lies, gossip and internal dissention in these movements. Do you really believe they have given up on these very successful tactics against the growing movements today?

Sure, the Soviet Union had a host of social benefits. So did (and does) the U.S. Hell, even Hitler probably provided a fair standard of living! But all these systems were built on the blood of millions. In the Soviet Union you had the gulags, murder of countless revolutionaries, food shortages, its all pretty well documented.
Therefore yes it is important if we allow our anti-war movement to be hijacked by the followers of one or other repressive model. We allow them to speak for us and we're fucked. To me, being anti-war is about for a world free of state repression wherever it comes from. After all, would you follow an anti-Saddam solidarity movement led supported by U.S. politicians? Of course not! History is full of examples of Leninists, stalinists, Islamists, so-called democrats and other authoritarians destroying their erstwhile allies in fighting fascism or whatever. The Workers World Party is hardly in such a position (!) but the principle is still the same. In the UK we got the same thing, groups like the WRP celebrating Saddam Husseins speeches on their front pages. The Stop the War Coalition shutting up Irani and Iraqi leftwing critics of Islamic fundamentalism in the name of unity.
Luckily here in the UK we have a direct action based peace movement which is traditionally autonomous of party political interests, and as elsewhere there is libertarian anti-capitalist movement of more recent origins which is also consistent in its opposition to all warmongers.
