>RAWA (whose agenda should be perfectly harmless to the Empire)
Why do you say that? What do you see as RAWA's agenda? Is the "Revolutionary" part of their name simply gestural?

Original founders of RAWA were cadre in an Afghan maoist party. I'll dig up some posts on leftist_trainspotters at yahoogroups.com that confirm this. On RAWA website though found pieces that dispute this, natch. That's "red-baiting".
(Imaginary testimony of one of the Hollywood 10 in front of HUAC in 1949, "Congressman, when you ask me if I am a Communist, what you really mean to ask is if I am for PEACE!"
Orson Welles (paraphrase on the Hollywood 10, "They lied to save their swimming pools.")
Communist Manifesto..."Communists disdain to conceal their aims..." Michael Pugliese, if this be red-baiting make the most of it...and remember, "Communism is Twentieth Century Americanism." CPUSA slogan during the Popular Front.
