My preference is for something broader than a peace movement that can respond flexibly to the different requirements and different prioties. Something enlarged into a movement for peace and justice, (justice including economic and social justice and not just individual bourgeois legal justice - justice for oppressed communities.) The nearest alternative is to perpetuate an international movement focussed around opposition ot US hegemonism. But that will still require a focus as to the isses on which US hegemonism is particularly to be challenged.
