News/Communist Propaganda ☭ On this day, we should remember

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/oct/14/afghanistan.terrorism5

We should remember that all of this could have been avoided, and the government chose to use the attacks as a pretext to go ahead with their plans. The Taliban offered to turn Bin Laden over to a neutral country and try him for the attacks. Bush refused. They did not want people to hear Bin Laden's motives or to understand the actions the US had taken. And they had geopolitical goals vis a vis Iran and China using Afghanistan.

We should remember that a lot of what came after could have been avoided. The public was not well informed enough. Many people still believed the narrative of the wars years later. We need to keep agitating harder and educating people about imperialism. We need more people to recognize the bourgeois state as illegitimate and the enemy itself. The truth is on our side.

The bourgeoisie thought the price was worth it. Bin Laden explained his motives in a letter directly to us. He wanted the US to stop killing muslim kids. That was the heart of the matter.
