| <nettime> Re: the personal is political? |
Hiya, Yeah, the personal is political. Being the victim of a deliberate and long-planned campaign of genocide is very personal. Drunken Serbian fascists armed to the teeth are murdering, raping, looting and burning in Kosovo. Very personal, very intimate. Don't you remember Vukovar, Sarajevo and so many other places where these war crimes have already occured? Doesn't the Greek Left have one gram of compassion for the intense suffering of the Kosovan people? Or are they so blinded by Stalinist and nationalist myths that they will go out on to the streets in support of the Serbian death squads? Shame on them and all the appeasers of Belgrade. Shame on Noam Chomsky for producing legalistic excuses for looking away and doing nothing while people die and suffer. Shame on Tony Benn for repeating Serbian fascist propaganda. Shame on all the pacifists who oppose military aid for the Kosovan resistance in its hour of greatest need. Shame on the Luther Blissett Project for forgetting the help given by American and British imperialism to the Italian Partisans. You all share some of the guilt for the genocide which is now going on. Shame on the whole lot of you. Victory to the KLA!!
