War drive gathers momentum

Imperialist threats against Iran have been stepped up once again

James Turley, CPGB, writes on how the warmongers have stepped up their threats towards Iran. He says only principled opposition to both US/UK/Israeli Imperialism and to the Iranian Regime will win over mass support to the anti war movement. Full text at link.

Communists unequivocally oppose any imperialist action against Iran. It is clear to all that the invasion of Iraq has been a catastrophe for the Iraqi people, no matter what US and British propaganda says. It is also clear that this catastrophe has real roots in the objective dynamics of recent capitalist development and the relative decline of US global hegemony in the face competition from China and Europe - and so any subsequent adventure in Iran is likely to have similar results.

We reject the arguments, stated openly by liberal imperialists and elliptically by the social-imperialist Alliance for Workers’ Liberty, to the effect that imperialism has a progressive role to play, or even that its victory is simply relatively less reactionary than that of political islam or the Ba’athist strain of Arab nationalism...

This leaves the workers and oppressed of Iran - those for whom any war will be personally disastrous - as the only genuine anti-imperialist force in that country. It is a matter of great importance that anti-imperialists, particularly in the advanced capitalist countries, build practical solidarity with these layers. This necessarily brings us into opposition to the theocratic, neoliberal, anti-working class Iranian regime. In every conceivable way, that regime is an obstacle to any serious opposition to war.
