The same political forces who built "solidarity" with Bosnia and the
"Serb Workers", are now trying to do the same with Chechnya and "Russian
Workers".
This is nothing more than a New Left veneer for the old AFL-CIO
interventionism in Latin America and the rest of the Third World. We
now know that the CIA and other government agencies worked in close
alliance with the AFL-CIO to finance this "solidarity".
International Solidarity With Workers in Russia is an organization that
The US Left should reject. The Labor Movement has a long, sorry,
history of pumping dollars into the political situations of more
impoverished areas. This is also the US government strategy for
intervention in the internal affairs of countries it hopes to undermine.
Hopefully the majority of the socialist US Left will reject this
approach. To not do so would have far graver consequences, than if
the labor movement went along with the anti-Chinese forces now trying to
deny China entry into the WTO.
