The recent Rage Against the War Machine demonstration in Washington DC exposed deep divisions within our movement. Open Mic! Bring your thoughts about this. We encourage and will allow five to ten minutes for you to present your ideas for discussion. Some questions to consider:
(1) What are the political, economic, and military factors that led to this war?
(2) Who are the main forces in the antiwar movement – what is their class character and what are their political demands?
(3) How to build the antiwar movement? Why is there so much support in the US and so little opposition to the war? What happened to the antiwar movement – why did it split over the Rage Against the War demonstration, and how can we revive and build it? Who should socialists unite with to do so, and how?
Note: the moderator may ask questions of participants, make or ask for clarifications, or interrupt the discussion if speakers wonder off topic or become disruptive.
