Mini-variousness

Bob on the “anti-imperialist” camp, in the spirit of Rosa Luxemburg. Marx and Coca-cola on the ironies of Israeli politics. Slackbastard on neo-Nazi music in Germany.

Added: The New Centrist rounds up stuff on the campus occupations. Extract:

You can already read on rad left sites like the IMCs that the protests– even if they did not achieve their demands–were a “success.” As I’ve stated many times here and elsewhere, a large measure of what drives radical activism in the U.S. is not the achievement of demands/goals (political or other) but the validation of an individual’s identity and radical ideology. In other words, it is more about how protesting makes them feel then actually achieving anything concrete. You know, “demand the impossible,” and all that.
