Maoists for “Peace”

• Views: 3,304

Speaking of Not In Our Name (see below), John Perazzo has a must-read column at FrontPage today exposing the true agenda of this so-called “anti-war” group: Maoists for Peace.

The NION project was initiated by a man named C. Clark Kissinger, a longtime Maoist activist. Currently a member of the Revolutionary Communist Party and a contributing writer for the socialist publication Revolutionary Worker, Kissinger began his public activism in the early 1960s when he was the national secretary of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), founded by Tom Hayden. The leading radical organization of its day, SDS later split into several groups, among which was the militant, revolutionary Weathermen.

Kissinger also worked closely with Fred Hampton and the Black Panther Party, and openly supported Mao Tse-tung’s notoriously oppressive Cultural Revolution in China. Kissinger continues to enjoy strong support from the Maoist Internationalist Movement (MIM), which, by its own words, “upholds the revolutionary communist ideology of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism,” and views the Chinese Cultural Revolution as “the farthest advance of communism in human history.”

MIM frankly declares that it can only achieve its ends “by building public opinion to seize power through armed struggle.” Chief among its objectives is to foment “revolution [in] North America, as the [US] military becomes over-extended in the government’s attempts to maintain world hegemony.” Such are the ideals of Mr. Kissinger and his benefactors. Such are the “peace-loving” roots of the lofty-sounding Communist front group, Not In Our Name.
