And many on the orthodox vanguardist Left also see the current situation
as an opportunity. I never was one to hope that conditions would get
worse for people so that my brand of radical politics would have an
"opportunity."

I think we were doing just fine before 9/11, thank you.

INTERNATIONALISM IN PRACTICE

An American soldier in a hospital explained how he was wounded: He said,
"I was told that the way to tell a hostile Vietnamese from a friendly
Vietnamese was to shout ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ If he shoots, he’s
unfriendly. So I saw this dude and yelled ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’
and he yelled back, ‘To hell with President Johnson!’ We were shaking
hands when a truck hit us."
