SALVATION
DAMNATION
the western liberal anti-war sentiment of 'war is always bad and pointless, soldiers don't die for their country they just die, everyone who died for their country was a clown' is like. great in the context of their own imperialist participation in wars, but it's not actually built off a theoretical understanding that can differentiate between that and anything else. instead it just universalises the negative aspects of imperialism. the revolutionaries and anti-colonial fighters opposing imperialist invasion were not fighting a 'pointless' war, they were not idiots for dying for their people, and their sacrifices made a real and measurable difference to the lives of the people they fought for. to the western liberal mind, war is something you choose to travel overseas to do. to the rest of the world, war is something that arrives to you, uninvited. oppose unjust war, inter-imperialist war; and support just war, revolutionary war. nothing else will do.
This is from a self-parody that Paul Kirchner did of his own Dope Rider comic, used for National Screw magazine’s March 1977 issue. Wise, too. Backwards spelled wrong IS gnedfludap.
