TERRORISM EMBRACED

According to ultra-leftist Lisa Farrance – she of the recently "emersed" head (huh?) – it's time to embrace terrorism:

What's needed is to see beyond the current framework of the populist debates on international war and terror. To see that those opposing our governments are fighting just causes. To even support some terrorist organisations in so far as they oppose the role of imperialist nations in militarily dominating the globe - while at the same time opposing their methods, even many of their goals.

Only this begins to turn things on its head - our government is no longer our saviour but rightfully recognised as not only the enemy of ‘terrorists', but the enemy of our brothers and sisters, the enemy of us as well. An enemy that has created terrorism wherever our troops have intervened, that has charged into Iraq against opposition, that has introduced GST and IR laws and attacks on civil liberties and cuts to welfare etc. That is not representative of ‘our' interests at all, but of a small minority, a ruling elite that share the boards of the big corporations (also responsible for carving up the globe).

But this is a big leap to make - to begin to show solidarity with those internationally who are fighting our own government, even with some ‘terrorist organisations'. And it's a leap that will take many a long time. Not only because it's now deemed illegal - an act of sedition - but because of the illusions that people have that, at some level, our government represents ‘us'.

If anyone reckons the war on terror is violent just wait for the bloodbath there'll be if Islamists and the "bullet in the brain for anyone who opposes us" lefties start mixing it up. The world's population problem will be solved.

Blair's law applies but needs to be slightly amended: the world's totalitarian ideologies continue to merge into a single violent mass.
