...liberal's attempt to equate the far left and the far right as members of the so-called unrealistic fringe, hated by a "good segment of society." This equation is the same methodology which led the bourgeois press to characterize the KKK's cold-blooded murder of five anti-Klan militants in Greensboro, North Carolina, as simply a "shootout" between two "violence-prone extremist groups...
...Klan does not simply have a "vision of the past" as McKibben states. It is an active organization of fascist terrorists who have a long history of terror and murder against Blacks, Jews, trade unionists and the left. Fascism is the most naked form of capitalist reaction. The alarming growth of the KKK is a product of the deteriorating economic condition of U.S. imperialism. Workers who are battling grinding inflation, plant closings and layoffs often perceive Blacks and non-white immigrant workers as a threat to the precious few jobs that are left and thus can more easily be taken...
...real and dangerous alternative for the capitalist class when it is faced with the spectre of workers' revolution. Fascism was used by the bourgeoisie in Germany to destroy a conscious and militant working class that threatened its private property.

So when the KKK wanted to "celebrate" the Greensboro massacre in the labor/Black town of Detroit it was the SL and 500 predominantly Black workers who demonstrated and stopped the Klan. And when the Nazis threatened to celebrate Hitler's birthday on April 19 in San Francisco, over 1,200 trade unionists, Blacks, Chicanos, Jews, gays and socialists supported the SL's call for a mass labor-centered mobilization and actually stopped the fascists' "birthday party." The Blacks whose relatives have...
...unlike the KKK, looks to the future, and thus is not demonstrably evil or even incorrect in its vision of the world. This line of reasoning is not only logically flawed, but also quite distressing in its naivete. One need only consider the historical sickness of the Klan to condemn its present actions and philosophy. In the same way, the RCP may be judged by the actions of past adherents of its ideology. McKibben noted the volumes by Lenin and Stalin in the RCP offices. Although promoting an "altruistic" philosophy, these men caused far more death, persecution, and agony than...
