George Galloway’s NO2NATO: War cannot be opposed based on nationalism and an embrace of capitalism’s “rising powers”
To advance a campaign in alliance with the far-right to pressure British and US imperialism to “go gentle into that good night” as a means of opposing war is politically grotesque. It articulates the position of a layer of the petty-bourgeoisie frightened by the threat of war, but hostile to a struggle against that threat by the working class and possessed of a truly boundless belief on the long-term viability of the capitalist system.
