The Left is paralyzed for many reasons, but one of the biggest reasons is that nearly all anti-war organizations are still tied in some way to the Democrats and their “progressive” wing, or similar “progressive” but imperialist parties, like the Green Party. At anti-war rallies, groups will often invite politicians as speakers, and they will promote the same old reformist solutions, like writing a letter to your congressman or signing a petition.  

But this has effectively led the Left into complete pacifism and stagnancy, because by resorting to signing petitions and writing letters, the Left has shown the ruling class that it is not a threat, and therefore, the politicians will not feel remotely pressured to end the war.  

Thus, we need anti-war organization that breaks from both imperialist parties, and, in fact, the entire economic system of imperialism.
