A new left-wing student group at The George Washington University has been created to advocate for “internationalism” and “oppose nationalism” around the world.

The Internationalist Students’ Front aims to challenge “popular narratives about U.S. foreign policy,” according to The GW Hatchet, which reports that the group plan to host “teach-ins” to warn classmates about the consequences of fascism.

Alaina Taylor, a member of the organization, said that the teach-ins will also educate students on U.S. interference in elections abroad, as well as Winston Churchill’s role in the starvation of Indians during World War II.

Sheng Zhang, another member of the group, said that students should take a “cosmopolitan approach” to international relations, saying, “internationalism means that we stand in solidarity with every single struggle against oppression in the world.”

I like that they're going for the Neo-Nazi tactic of "we're not Nazis, we're 'national socialists' and totally ok with Jews but they can't join us and we think a lot of problems would be solved if Jews weren't allowed to have jobs or hold any position of power" approach to lying about their cause.

"While many of us are left-wing, I don’t think we can really be characterized as a communist student org because our main focus isn’t communism."

Posts on the new student group’s Facebook page, meanwhile, have celebrated figures from the Black Panther Party and former communist leader Fidel Castro.

Another member of the organization, Josh Gomez, disputed claims that the Internationalist Students’ Front is a communist group, saying that isn’t the main purpose of the club, though he acknowledged that the group is a radical organization, following in the footsteps of many other radical groups on campus.

“Our main focus is anti-imperialist work and anti-imperialist ideas and ideals, and so while many of us are left-wing, I don’t think we can really be characterized as a communist student org because our main focus isn’t communism,” Gomez told the Hatchet.

George Washington University Law professor Jonathan Turley, however, has criticized the group’s effort to ban two books from the university’s library, which the group described to the Hatchet as propaganda put out by the Japanese far-right.

“It is a uniquely poor way to start a group on offering different perspectives of historical events by trying to prevent students and faculty from reading alternative perspectives,” Turley writes, arguing that while one of the book’s denial of war atrocities is “painful” to read, faculty and students research these denials in their studies and sometimes “buy books to gain perspective of fringe or discredited views.”

I wonder if they care as much about the violent attacks against whites in Africa.

Sun Tzu: "Know your enemy, know yourself, and victory will always be yours." These people are radical anti-imperialists right? Isn't that sort of propagandist work, given their stated aims, basically required reading? I mean the Prof advocating against banning the book seemed to think it was...

These courses are such a waste of oxygen...

This just makes me more curious about the books in question, and the matter they contain.

Communists only win by force though.

Internationalism is this context means sticking up for any regime that vocally opposes the United States, no matter how shitty that regime itself happens to be. These are the kind of tankies that without a hint of irony support The Kims in North Korea and Chavistas in Venezuela, just because they say the right things about how evil America is.

At least we'll get giant TV walls to make up for it!

Oh wait, nobody except old people watch stuff on a TV now.

This line of attack on Churchill was common in the post-war USSR, to distract people from the fact that at the same time Churchill was sounding the alarm on the global threat of Fascism, Stalin was still in a fucking alliance with Hitler.

Who has that kind of time, except trust-fund babies with not a care in the world?

Turley is a mostly left-leaning constitutional lawyer and scholar.

So he happens to like the Constitution rather a lot.
