" it seems to me "Bin Ladenism" is the ideological expression of social classes driven to despair and madness by the ruthless, suffocating, crushing weight of that system. Seeing no alternative, even sections of the toilers, properly speaking, are drawn to a figure like Osama. But "Bin Ladenism" is in not "progressive." Under current world conditions it is just an expression of the extreme decay of the current world social system and an obstacle to the necessary rebirth of the of world workers movement. " What do you mean when you speak about "bin Ladenism"? I don't know if we have to consider "bin Ladenism" an important point in the current prospective of the world system analyses. When i look the current situation in Pakistan i see the 91% of pakistani pepole demonstrate in favour of bin Laden (or better in favour of Talebans) and against the bombing attack in Usa. It is quite reductive to draw a conclusion and speak about "bin Ladenism" like a sort of "new wave" in the Islam world. Immanuel Wallerstein says (in his last commentarie) that bin Laden's view of world "would not at all be a better world, even for Muslims". Now we know that Muslim people claim for an Islam Nation and they have an accurate idea of what an "islam Nation" would be for the Muslims, for the pepole all over the world and for the human being in general. They oppose Islam vs Democracy/Capitalism: "The truth is that in the absence of an Islamic State to rid the world of the corruption of man made law, the profane concept of secularism has given birth to a monster called 'capitalism' together with its ugly features of freedom, democracy, liberalism and of course, exploitation of human beings.The US today represents the bastion of Capitalism exploiting more countries and peoples than any other nation in the history of mankind. Murder, massacre, rape, pillage and oppression are the tools that feed such nations, who have no remorse at the deaths of innocent civilians as long as their interests are secure". I don't think that a directly consequence of the secularism is the spread of the capitalistic world system economy (or more probably vice versa), but it's quite evident that the faith in Reason and in the Certain fail in give us the right solution for the problem of the modern states (both in the capitalstic that in the communist block). The problem of the working class. Here where I live last year the pakistan community give us a lesson of strength and coherence: they demostrate day and night without eat for three months cause they was demanding for "human right" and a regular permit to stay. OK! I KNOW! They are muslim community not a working class!!! So we have to see their strength and their struggle like a sort of fanatic fundamentalism. fl1nt (sorry again for my bad English) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
