[lbo-talk] Is THIS the most dangerous man in Europe?

[Russell Grinker]

So the conventional demand for sovereignty or the right to national
self-determination - a right that at least inhibited the major powers from
running amok across the rest of the world - is now labelled "populist
nationalism bordering on Fascism". Does Wojtek have a democratic bone in his
body? His utterances even put him to the right of that Neanderthal Winston
Churchill (see below).

Atlantic Charter, joint program of peace aims, enunciated by Prime Minister
Winston Churchill of Great Britain and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
of the United States on Aug. 14, 1941...supported the following principles
and aims: renunciation of territorial aggrandizement; opposition to
territorial changes made against the wishes of the people concerned;
restoration of sovereign rights and self-government to those forcibly
deprived of them; etc...

If I were concerned about national sovereignty, I would not need the Left at
all, I'd ask good old fascists for help - they are much more straightforward
at that - "Our country for our native citizens!  Foreigners out!"

BTW, people on this list complained about triangulation of Democrats.  I'd
rather have the Clintons et al. triangulating between conventional
liberalism and conventional conservatism, than the Lefties triangulating
between self-styled radicalism and populist nationalism bordering on
fascism.
