-==Comintern affiliation==
-According to Dr. Rael Jean Isaac, Rubin was a [[Comintern]] member and a [[Communist]] agent. The founders  dedicated themselves to helping Communist revolutionaries. Both men hated the United States and openly supported the Communist cause during the [[Vietnam War]]. In the mid 1980s Barnet visited [[Communist Nicaragua]], staying at the home of Thomas Borge, chief of Nicaragua's secret police.

The [[War on Terror]], which included [[Operation Iraqi Freedom]], prompted these groups to form coalitions and seek allies. Their aim is a “struggle” against “oppression” and “imperialism,” code words in the lexicon of revolutionary [[socialism]].
-Not In Our Name (NION), a satellite of the [[Revolutionary Communist Party]], decries the War on Terror as a ploy: “We will not stop until all of us are free from your bloodthirsty domination.”  Many contmeporary antiwar organizers used to support the [[Soviet Union]] and its proxies such as the [[Vietcong]], the [[Sandinistas]], [[North Korea]], [[Fidel Castro]]’s [[Cuba]] and the Communist guerrillas in [[El Salvador]].
-The second largest anti-war umbrella group to emerge since the 9/11 terror attacks is United for Peace and Justice (UPJ). UPJ was in charge of planning the massive August 29, 2004 demonstration in New York City on the eve of the Republican National Convention. Like A.N.S.W.E.R., it claims to be a response to the events of 9/11. But it’s also an old Soviet-style “[[agitprop]]” front group directed by a veteran Communist activist. UPJ was created in October 2002 at a gathering of representatives of fifty diverse organizations (e.g. the Institute for Policy Studies, a left-wing think-tank, and the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker group) who met in the offices of People for the American Way.
