Doug Cameron's world of class c...ollaboration is collapsing around him as the bosses' demons he and his ilk unleashed consume him. So instead of class struggle to defend jobs he raises race as the defining issue. Shame, Doug Cameron, shame.

My mistake, of course, was in not realizing this article all about "defending Qaddafi." Here I thought it was all about indicting imperialism and its plans for dominating the African continent, as well as putting the spotlight on the "revolutionaries" it supported. The same, by the way, goes for the other article Louis cited, which again I mistakenly interpreted as indicting the capitalist state, rather than "defending the Black Bloc." What do I know?

Today, the presumptive ethical basis of both the military and the moneymaking crowd deserve our highest admiration, even though the moneymakers are engaged in warfare against the same people that the military is supposed to be protecting. 94-5: "The fervor with which Americans practiced the rituals of Memorial Day began to fade in the late 1870s and early 1880s.
