”THE NEO-PACIFISTS AT WAR…WITH PEACE”
cinderellabloggerfeller.blogspot.com“War on America” has constituted, for the past sixty years, the one and only watchword of all forms of pacifism. Yet it is thanks to the United States with the power of the American army and in spite of pacifist hatred that we are neither “red” nor “dead” today.
The neo-pacifists of the present time attempt to hide the benefits brought by America in order to avoid being forced to acknowledge a difficult double truth: on the one hand, it wasn’t the “People” who liberated themselves from Nazism, it is to the American army, ”the Anglo-Americans”, as Vichy propaganda hatefully said, that we owe that liberation, and, on the other hand, it was not the “People” either who guaranteed western Europe’s protection against communism, whose charms they felt, but American policy. The syntagma “Anglo-Americans” in a context of diabolization, which we are daily given the opportunity to hear on the airwaves and in the interminable, rainbow-coloured rosary of the protests in the street, has a strange resonance to our ears. |
