...Saigon, Ho worked his way as a cabin boy aboard a ship to Europe. There, supporting himself with odd jobs (pastry cook at London's Carlton Hotel, photo retoucher in Paris), he became enamored of Communism as the means of overthrowing his country's imperialist burden...
...CAPTURE of Phnom Penh last week by the Khmer Rouge is a victory for the Cambodian people over the corrupt Lon Nol regime and the imperialist American policies that supported it. When the Lon No 1 government surrendered, Khmer Rouge and former government troops embraced, signalling an end to the suffering of the Cambodian people after five long years of war.

...with the current support of Israel by the United States. It was established because the world was faced with the problem of a few hundred survivors of the Nazi holocaust who were unwelcome anywhere, and because a national community of 600,000 Jews already existed in Palestine. No imperialist state supported their settlement there, and they came through no imperialist motive: they came to escape Russian, Polish, and German persecution. They came to escape a massacre to which all great states, capitalist or communist, western or eastern, imperialist or any other term you will, were indifferent...
