I can think for myself please
yeah go ahead. Say that im stupid. Whatever, but im pro-education. So when you tell me to be open minded, please know that just because im an activist that does not mean im going to support every other group that is an activist. I will see the truth no matter what, and I have seen the bullshit that this group ANSWER and NION stands for.
They bring people together under a blanket statment, and not once do they actually tell people what they stand for.
While we are it, how does ANSWER get all their money? while we are it, why don't the centralized leaders of ANSWER, IAC and Workers World not have a job? how the hell do you make your money?
Is it out of the buckets full of cash that you ask for at every one of your protests. Last Saturday I felt like I was at church, how many times can an evangelical Workers World Authoritarian Communist ask for a donation of money.
Either way time will stand to be greates test for all of you. If am wrong, I will be proven so. In the meantime I'll just sit back and watch you all treat people unfairly, become the authoritarian dictators that you are, be rude, be mean, not support anyone that might not agree with a few of your things, and try to boss, control, and overthrow any other groups that get in your way.

Welcome to the official site of: Authoritarian Opportunists Who Cozy
Up To Genocidal Dictators - for Peace
(International A.O.W.C.U.T.G.D.F.P.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please come to DC on Jan 18 to help stop Bush's unilateral war on Iraq
Every person counts --
make January 18 a massive gathering for peace
BUT FIRST learn a little about the group organizing the protest:
International A.N.S.W.E.R. is a post-9/11 creation of the International
Action Center, one of many front groups for the Workers World Party.
The Workers World Party:
» supported the Chinese government's 1989 Tienanmen Square massacre
http://www.workers.org/ww/tienanmen.html
» supports the "socialist" North Korean dictatorship of Kim Jong Il
http://www.workers.org/ww/2002/korea0425.php
http://www.workers.org/ww/2002/korea0509.php
» and views Iraq's Saddam Hussein as a beacon of anti-imperialist
resistance
http://www.workers.org/ww/2001/iraq0125.html
For these reasons, as well as Workers World's poor track record of
relations with other groups, some people refuse to attend A.N.S.W.E.R.
events, including the January 18 anti-war protest.
On the pro side, A.N.S.W.E.R. has proven skill at organizing massive
demonstrations. Most who attend the group's protests know nothing about
their actual political leanings and merely wish to express their
opposition to war in Iraq
And many people and groups who are repulsed by A.N.S.W.E.R.'s support
for genocidal dictators choose to attend their anti-war protests anyway,
because they feel it is so urgent to stop the Iraq war.
See, for example, Z Magazine's Q&A on the topic (A.N.S.W.E.R. is
discussed in #8):
