[Marxism] Lorna Salzman

[Louis Proyect]

Every once in a while I check in to see who has signed the US Euston 
statement. I was somewhat surprised to see Lorna Salzman's name there. She 
has been involved with the US Greens for many years now and is not--to my 
knowledge--connected with the Ted Glick forces. She seems to have moved to 
the right under her own Zionist logic as this snippet from her writings at 
http://lornasalzman.com/ would indicate:


 From "Stalinism is Alive and Well and Living in the United States":

We are living in threatening times, on one side threats emanating from the 
promised jihadic violence of Islamists against all infidels, and on the 
other from the subversion within our own society: those who explicitly and 
implicitly accept the SAME modes of behavior and objectives as those who 
want to exterminate western civilization and bring it under a pan-Islamic 
caliphate not seen since pre-medieval times. Many American leftists will 
deny this, but their actions speak otherwise. American liberals and the 
left have capitulated to the most rabid regressive intolerant and 
authoritarian forces extant. By failing to excoriate Islamist violence and 
intolerance, they are complicit in Islamist terrorism. They are, in effect, 
no different from the blind pro-Soviet left of the 1940s and 1950s, nor 
from the "good Germans" who meekly accepted Nazism as long as it protected 
them, and damn their friends and neighbors.

The Jewish slogan of "Never Again!" has not changed things. AGAIN, we are 
facing a global onslaught of hate, violence and repression and the "good 
Germans" and leftist Fellow Travellers are saying not one word. What is at 
stake is not just Israel, which many deluded leftists think is the root of 
anti-Americanism and Islamist violence, but the very freedoms for which our 
founders fought and died. The values of the American Revolution are in 
mortal danger of being overturned not by foreign enemies but from within 
our own country, as the American liberals and left, deploring the Patriot 
Act, do their utmost to undermine everything that is most admirable about 
our country. Indeed, this is the new definition of Treason.
