    This is precisely why I criticize the ANSWER coalition. Those who show support for it claim it is the “most successful modern anti-war movement”, to this I ask what have they accomplished? What war has been stopped or even hindered under their leadership? Indeed, they represent the faux/synthetic left who are indeed modern champions, however they are champions only of virtue signalling and exercises in futility - nihilistic populism. What determines the value of a tool is it’s ability to achieve it’s built for goal(s). If results are not being seen, the tool is not fit for the job, this is no different for committees, orgs, movements, leaders, etc… If the desired results are not being seen there is a question of fitness of the tool being used as well as a question of substance of which it is made of. Take a cheap Amazon wrench, it says it is rated for X amount of torque, but snap when a fraction is applied. ANSWER is like a cheap Amazon wrench, never achieving it’s espoused goals. And it too does this mischievously to benefit capital, claiming to be a solution while fundamentally lacking any qualifications towards achieving that goal. It is not simply a case of “one can never trust the CIA” however that does not help their case, like a “healthy/safe/green” product with a California carcinogen warning label on it. It eludes to the true nature of such a product and it’s actual use.
