With all due respect to Lenin, "We are all Hezbollah" is a silly slogan. It's clear that Hezbollah is superior to Western leftists. Given our complete inability to have any positive impact on the rest of the world (or even ourselves and our fellow countrymen and women nowadays in the US, the UK, and Japan), we ought to be a little more modest, even in offering symbolic solidarity.
As for women, blacks, queers, etc. abroad, they have made their own choices, variously, without waiting to be told to do this or that by others: some left their countries, seeking individual advancement in other countries; some have struggled to make their countries better, within the framework of their respective nationalism, with various degrees of success; and some have allied with the power elite of the empire, enlisting, or seeking to enlist, the might of the empire for their cause.
It seems to me that the last is the least advisable option: e.g., women in Iraq are clearly worse off now than under the Ba'ath Party government. The second option is one that makes most sense for most people, since most don't have the means to leave home anyway (emigrants tend to come from richer and better educated classes and strata), though emigration is sometimes the only choice, depending on political circumstances. -- Yoshie <http://montages.blogspot.com/> <http://mrzine.org> <http://monthlyreview.org/>
