"How The Vietnam War Was Stopped" presentation by Brian Lenzo

The war in Vietnam may have been 40 years ago, but the parallels it draws with the United State’s current imperial wars of mass destruction are important. It was a war justified by the ‘boogeyman’ of its time, communism, and waged on the basis of gifting American democracy. Yet the ruling class’s facade could not hide the horrors of one of the most out of control and brutal conflicts of the twentieth century.

Brian Lenzo (aka. RAW Politik, author of “6 Reasons to Oppose the War in Afghanistan“) in a talk given at Nazareth College in April 2008, explains the revolutionary conditions of the 1960s, the events that shook people to take action, and the role of GI resistance against the atrocities being committed abroad.
