Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) front group Act Now to Stop War and Racism (ANSWER) is calling on people to march on Trump Tower this Friday. Here is their message:

“The Trump regime has just started bombing Syria. We must not fall for the lies and propaganda. Trump’s war is not about democracy or humanitarian intervention. Trump’s war is about U.S. superiority and domination. Just like the rest of his agenda, his attack is about increasing the profits of the billionaires. “For 16 years the U.S. has destroyed the Middle East, leading to the greatest refugee crisis in history and the rise of ISIS. More bombs is not the answer. Trump bombing Syria is a great danger to the people of the world. We must come together and resist!”

Problem: the “Trump regime” has been launching airstrikes in Syria since the moment President Trump was sworn in on January 20. Airwars data indicates that roughly 1,000 airstrikes on targets in Syria have taken place under Trump, including the horrific obliteration of a mosque in Aleppo with at least 50 civilians inside two weeks ago.

So when Trump bombed ISIS targets, PSL did nothing.

When Trump bombed a Syrian mosque full of people, PSL did nothing.

When Trump struck an empty evacuated airbase, PSL was outraged.

If any group embodies the bankruptcy of ‘anti imperialist’ politics, it is PSL.
