"it was the Soviet, anti-imperialist army defending a revolutionary government against terrorist gangs of counter-revolutionaries"
^^^^^
Ha ha. The soviet anti-imperialist army? ^^^ CB: Exactly. All hail Red Army in Afghanistan to defend the revolutionary government against reactionary and counter-revolutionary terrorist gangs ( including bin Laden) armed with high tech weaponry (stingers et al) by the US CIA , very much imperialism's agents. If only the Red Army could have defended Nicaragua against the US imperialist counter-revolutionary terrorists as well at about the same time, when Reagan was organizing counter-revolutionaries ( Contras) to attack several revolutions.
^^^
The same soviets who handed the German communists over to the Nazis under the non-aggression pact? ^^^^ CB: The same Soviet Red Army that saved the world from Nazism by inflicting 90% of the casualties that the Nazi army suffered. The Western front was the minor front of WWII.
^^^
Babrak Karmal a revolutionary? ^^^ CB: A lot more of one than you and your sectarian anti-Communists.
^^^^
Palace-coup maker, wholly devoid of popular support, more like.
^^^ CB: Ha ha . You believe your own nonsense.
^^^
You can oppose the CIA funding of mujahideen reactionaries without telling fairy-stories about the the other side.
^^^ CB: Your position is that of a "left" imperialist. ___________________________________ http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/mailman/listinfo/lbo-talk
