I have more experience fighting U.S. military adventurism abroad — and outright U.S. imperialism — than anyone else on USMB — which you could easily have ascertained if you had done some research before shooting off your big mouth.What a string of childish ideas! You cannot be more than 22 or 23 years old and have a minimum of experience in life.
Starting as a student anti- Vietnam War organizer in the 1960s, through actively opposing countless U.S. invasions and occupations abroad, countless U.S.-aided coups, and subsequently becoming an industrial trade union militant defending worker’s rights, I have accumulated more real political experience than anyone I’ve encountered here. I’ve been arrested, beaten by cops and with my union buddies physically defended anti-war & anti-imperialist protests against brainwashed “patriotic” rightwing assholes. Of course I fought for Civil Rights as well, something crucial to all working people and to maintaining national cohesion in society.
My actions won me a fat COINTELPRO file with the FBI and lost me jobs. Now almost 75, it is obvious to me you are a fool and a braggart, and have little or no understanding of history.
