Isn't that the whole point? I'm not a scholar of Lenin, but isn't the primary path to revolution via war -- in Lenin's book? One of those dialectical movement, contradiction/resolution things?
I always thought that this was why the focus has to be on anti-war organizing. Not just because of a nostalgia for the 60s, but because this was the condition empire will always be in, waging wars, and thus, it is the foundation for revolutionary struggle.

"one of the lessons of 1964 that conservatives learned was that it was more important for voters to feel like they were informed than to actually be informed. conservatives now have several places where they can learn this lesson several times a year."
