  • If a current or former imperial troop turns a traitor to the empire, then that is an undeniable win. There have been many cases in US history of its troops turning against and betraying their masters, and joining the anti-war movement, and helping other troops do so also. Every single troop that does so, means less innocent people harmed. This should be encouraged and applauded.

    We should see people less as static entities and identities, and more as capable of change. All communist countries (PRC, USSR, Vietnam, Cuba) during their civil wars welcomed traitors who saw the wrongness of the other side to their cause with open arms.

    I also doubt the claim that many of these former troops would want you to feel sorry for them. If they didn’t think they did anything wrong, then they wouldn’t have joined the anti-war movements in the first place.











  • North Italy especially had a very revolutionary tradition, throughout various periods there were more communists than liberals, especially after the russian revolution, and during the 1950s-70s. It was one of the main fronts of the cold war, which is why the CIA put so many resources into killing them during the years of lead and stamping out their orgs via gladio.

    The Italian and other southern and eastern european expats to the US during the early 1900s formed the core of most of its communist / socialist organizing too. They were highly-communitarian minded people, pretty much the opposite of anglos.

    Highly recommend comrades read Paul Williams - Operation Gladio.


  • The vatican and catholic power structure was always allied with reactionaries in both europe and latin america, and helped latin american countries hunt down and kill leftists, including liberation theology priests. The last pope, pope Francis, even helped imprison and kill several during the argentian junta.

    Highly recommend reading Paul L Williams - Operation Gladio, because it gets into this history, especially the cold-warrior alliance of the CIA / NATO, the catholic church, fascist lodges and stay-behind units in Europe and SA, and the mob. The vatican played a large role in many of anti-communist atrocities of the 20th century.
