Rage Against the War Machine is an upcoming anti-war rally planned for Feb 19th, 2023 at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. which is organized by the Libertarian Party and the People's Party to demand that the United States withdraw any involvement in the current conflict in Ukraine, especially since it risks nuclear war and World War III with Russia.[1]
This event poses a threat to the pro-Democratic Party Synthetic Left by having the potential for creating a new polarization in America where pro-growth anti-malthusian forces (real Communists and Libertarians) unite against the woke fascist agenda of the degrowthers and the big banks.[2]
