"As We Don't See It" is a pamphlet published
by Solidarity, a libertarian socialist group in Britain whose heydays were the
1960's and the 1970's. The group is mostly known for its often intriguing
pamphlets, such as "The Irrational in Politics" (think Wilhelm Reich)
or translated works by Cornelius Castoriadis. "As We Don't See It" is
a short summary of Solidarity's political positions, and includes their
original platform, "As We See It".
Most of the pamphlet is libertarian socialism 101, but one thing stands out: the complete rejection of Third World struggles, as when the anonymous author waxes ironic about "Karume's anti-imperialist regime in Zanzibar", "Sekou Toure's Guinea" or "The People's Republic of Uzbekistan". Yeah, very funny, guys. Now, please go back and reread Lenin's works on imperialist economism and social-chauvinism, more carefully this time...
Oh, I forgot. The brave Anglo-Saxons of Solidarity don't study Vladimir Ilyich. Well, my mistake. :P
