- Raphael Alexander: Activists Against Everything even object to Remembrance Day

Although we often think of those outside our borders as the enemy -- the insurgents in Afghanistan who plant IED’s in the hopes of killing our soldiers, or the foreign jihadis who fight a religious war against the West -- some of the most effective enemies exist right here within our borders. These people refer to themselves as anti-war activists, or anti-racists, or social justice activists; but really their goals are all very similar. They are people like Naomi Klein, socialist anarchists who use any means necessary to undermine our success as a nation, and the prominence of western civilization’s accomplishments.
Harsha Walia, an " activist, writer, researcher and facilitator " who "has been active in a variety of voluntary social justice issues over the past decade including feminist, anti-racist, migrant justice, Palestine solidarity, Indigenous self-determination, anti capitalist, anti-poverty, and South Asian diasporic movements" penned a piece about Remembrance Day in the Vancouver Sun. Only it wasn’t about Remembrance Day, which she writes is symbolic of those who are “most eager to create a steady flow of the dead to remember”, but about all of the other days of the year that should be memorialized for those who have suffered and died due to human and corporate greed, military wars and occupations, man-made poverty and, let us not forget, that ubiquitous environmental devastation.
