Given Philadelphia’s own history of racially discriminatory policing, it was expected and appropriate that such protests would happen here as well.

July 12 — The time has come to open another front in the struggle against white supremacy. What happened in Dallas on July 7 has in the past, under different circumstances, provided the ruling class, the politicians, the mainstream media and the po- lice with more weapons than they could possi- bly need to impose a chilling effect on the Black Lives Matter movement and the struggle against racist police terror. The fall of 2014 was a high point for the Black Lives Matter movement. Thousands of march- ers nationwide were shutting down highways, bridges and shopping malls across the country in the aftermath of the police murders of Eric Garner, Michael Brown and Tamir Rice. But after two New York City cops were shot dead in December 2014, the pressure on the movement was so heavy that some activists canceled protests. It took months for the movement to recover from the political pressure orchestrated by the capitalist establishment. However, in the aftermath of the Dallas shootings, the capitalist political establishment has so far not been able to freeze out or push back the movement. It’s not that they haven’t tried. The pro-cop talking heads have been all over the media trying to blame and demonize the movement for cops killed in Dallas.

  • Investigation Into Red-Brown Alliances
    in Madrid, to overthrow the military dictatorship in Argentine, Perónist circles during that period were an odd conjunction of far-right anf far-left tendencies. Among Perón‘s contacts in Argentina was Joe “Jose” Baxter, a mysterious Yugoslav-born Argentine who in the mid-1960s An Investigation into became the leader of the Tacuara, a paramilitary neo-fascist Red-Brown Alliances sect with long-standing ties to the Argentine secret services. When Adolf Eichmann, who had been secretly living in Ar- Third Positionism, Russia, Ukraine, Syria, and the gentina, was captured by Israeli intelligence in 1960, Tacuara Western Left members went on a spree of anti-Semitic attacks and wrote vile anti-Semitic graffiti in Buenos Aires. After Eichmann’s execu- tion, Tacuara violence erupted again and they abducted Jewish Vagabond students and carved swastikas in their flesh. Around the same time as Thiriart’s shift leftward, Baxter shifted the Tacuara sharply to the Left and, with Perón‘s support, reorganized it into Argentina’s first urban guerrilla warfare organization. Many Tacuaristas, Baxter included, visited Havana, where they were trained into guerrilla maneu- vers, and reportedly the People’s Republic of China in 1965 as well. After Baxter returned to Latin America, the core ofthe Tacuara merged with various revolutionary groups to form the Montoneros, a left-wing nationalist group whose armed struggle paved the way for Perón‘s return to Argentine in 1973. The Montoneros, believing they were on the threshold ofa social revolution, had come to greet their hero on June 20, 1973, and claim what they felt to be their rightful place next to the platform where he was scheduled to address the largest pubic rally of Argentine history.
