This event poses a threat to the pro-[[Democratic Party]] [[Synthetic Left]] by having the potential for creating a new polarization in America where [[Common prosperity|pro-growth]] anti-[[Malthusiaism|malthusian]] forces (real [[Communists]] and [[Libertarians]]) unite against the [[Wokeness|woke]] [[Fascism|fascist]] agenda of the [[Degrowth|degrowthers]] and the big banks.<ref>1:00:00 of [https://www.youtube.com/live/KRTELUz23Lk?feature=share WW3 Over A Stupid Balloon?

Revision as of 22:26, 21 February 2023

Rage Against the War Machine was a major anti-war rally in Washington, D.C. on February 19, 2023 that was organized by the Libertarian Party and the People's Party.[1] Credited with reviving the anti-war movement in the United States (US), 2,000-5,000 people showed up in attendance to protest US funding of the neo-Nazi war effort in Ukraine against Russia.[2] Many notable American politicians spoke at the event, including former members of Congress Ron Paul, Tulsi Gabbard, and Dennis Kucinich.[3]

The rally brought together thousands of Communists (primarily MAGA Communists and Patriotic Socialists), libertarians, paleoconservatives, and Alt-Right conservatives. Some notable socialist speakers were Jimmy Dore and Jackson Hinkle, whereas libertarians were Ron Paul and Daniel McAdams, and one paleoconservative was Tulsi Gabbard.[4][5][6][7][8][9]

Prelude

In 2022, the Libertarian Party underwent an internal revolution, with the Libertarian Party Mises Caucus (LPMC) taking over the party leadership.[10] Under the LPMC, the party reformed into an anti-imperialist organization and centered the party to be based on the political positions of Ron Paul.[11] The newly Mises Caucus-led Libertarian Party reached out to Nick Brana of the People's Party, hoping to build an alliance between the populist "right" with the populist "left," an alliance previously predicted by the MAGA Republican Matt Gaetz.[12]

Planning for Rage Against the War Machine started in December 2022, being organized by the Libertarian Party and the People's Party.[13] The Libertarian Party officially announced the rally on January 20, 2023, setting the official date for February 19.[14]

Demands

The official demands of Rage Against the War Machine, as stated by the Libertarian Party and the People's Party, were:

  1. Not One More Penny for War in Ukraine
  2. Negotiate Peace
  3. Stop the War Inflation
  4. Disband NATO
  5. Global Nuclear De-Escalation
  6. Slash the Pentagon Budget
  7. Abolish the CIA and Military-Industrial Deep State
  8. Abolish War and Empire
  9. Restore Civil Liberties
  10. Free Julian Assange[15]
