Max is in his willful-misunderstanding-misrepresentation mode so he can shoot down straw people. Where are the posts claiming the Nazis were lower-case evil ? From the funny-haha below, one would think that the Left accused the U.S. of being the main evil in WW II. What a lie.

Then , of course, things change. Germany is no longer a military power. In fact, the U.S. is the main military power in the world and certainly many, many times bigger than Yugoslavia. Thus, contra the sarcasm below, it is completely logical to focus IN 1999 , on the U.S. as the main imperialism ("supreme evil") in the world. No other country is launching wars in the last decade like the U.S. Max tries to cover this simple fact up with the confusion below. His illogic goes something like : because there have been other imperialisms in history, it is ok for the U.S. to bomb Yugoslavia today, because the U.S. is not the worst imperialism in history (the straight meaning of his sarcasm below) . As Louis Pro would say, "sick stuff". Even if the U.S. weren't the worst imperialism in the world TODAY (which it is), it is U.S. imperialism that is bombing Yugoslavia and Iraq, not the Nazis.

Although Nazism was evil, it was only lower-case evil and derived from the Supreme Evil -- U.S. capitalism/imperialism. No words are too severe to describe imperialism's Evil, just as no words are too mild to describe the enemies of imperialism.

What about Stalinism/Maoism/Pol Potisme, you might ask, but probably won't? Well, notwithstanding the millions who perished under that rubric, these were only partly evil, partly derived from U.S. imperialism (hence semi-Evil), and otherwise merely Complex.

That's the program. Get my drift?
