[lbo-talk] Fred Halliday has passed away

[James Heartfield]

My recollection is that he was one of those who, after the end of the Cold War, identified the International Community as represented by the United Nations as the engine of positive social change (as per Hella Pick, for example). So, in Marxism Today, Halliday supported the first Gulf War against Saddam Hussein, back in 1990.
