    Not at all a good comparison with Iraq. Yeah the anti-war movement is weak today, but not cause the left isn't organizing around it. Are you under the impression the left was more powerful in the 2000s? Any leftist anti-war org linking arms with fascists, reactionaries, sexual abusers, homophobes, racists, etc. will only weaken the movement. Several of the people at this event aren't even anti-war. Scott Ritter posted the other day he isn't anti-war and he wants Russia to annihilate Ukraine. This event is a joke full of clowns who dont do any real organizing or movement building. Growing their podcast and youtube audience is not a "movement" nor organizing.

        How is the left too weak to stand up against the state when every leftist org in the country has been doing that the entire year though? I wouldn't even call this an "anti-war" event when they have people on that are pro-war just anti US intervention this specific one. That aint no anti-war movement being built just podcast dollars flowing in. Tulsi is literally a US army officer lol
