If people feel that the movements should become more anti-imperialist, they should organize actions that lead it in that direction. Calling for more anti-imperialism is a waste of time. What's going to happen? ANSWER putting another speaker on the podium of a rally attended by 1000? UFPJ is in thrall to the Democratic Party, so it ain't going to adopt a more anti-imperialist line.
Looks like it is up to radicals interested in halting the war machine to up the ante.
