		No, there can be no cavil -- that war was proclaimed to all mankind to be a war of liberation, and not of conquest, and even now our very imperialists are still boasting that the war was prompted by the most unselfish and generous purposes, and that those insult us who do not believe it.

	Anti-Imperialism in the United States, 1898-1935
		Formed to protest direct territorial imperialism, the Anti-Imperialist League was the primary organized opposition to the Philippine-American War that began in 1899.
		The League addressed issues of economic imperialism with increasing frequency during its last ten years and, by the 1920s, when the second generation of anti-imperialist organizations was formed, that was the primary focus of both scholars and activists concerned with the issue.
		Defying neat categorization as either "isolationist" or "internationalist" as those words are usually defined, the anti-imperialists combined criticism of specific aspects of U.S. involvement in world affairs with a non-governmental internationalism that found expression in both close alliances with like-minded opposition groups overseas and advocacy of multilateral solutions to international problems.

	The Anti-Imperialist League and the Origins of Filipino-American Oppositional Solidarity
		Following the growth of Filipino-American solidarity during the anti-martial law and anti-bases movements of the 1970s to 1990s, someone not familiar with the League's history might recognize this language of rights and readily assume that there was Filipino-American solidarity during the earlier anti-imperialist movement.
		"Much as we abhor the war of 'criminal aggression' in the Philippines, greatly as we regret that the blood of the Filipinos is on American hands, we more deeply resent the betrayal of American institutions at home," the League's platform asserted.
		Because most later studies of the League focused primarily on its activities from 1898 to either the presidential election of 1900 or the official end of the Philippine-American War in 1902, this aspect of the League's activities, which began as early as 1898 but became more pronounced after 1900, has been neglected.

		It was the consolidation of a colonial state that made possible such terms, suited less to British sympathizers than to Filipino nationalist and American "anti-imperialist" oppositions.

	Communist Left - n° 21 - Preview
		It is a road which rejects ethnic and religious distinctions, and rejects any subjection to the national bourgeoisie; both the one linked to the American boss, which presents itself as 'democratic' and 'legalitarian', and the one which, having chosen the path of armed opposition to the occupation, presents itself as 'nationalist' and 'anti-imperialist'.
		Another great merit of the comrades of the Italian left, which derived directly from them having managed to situate the phenomenon of the imperialist war in the light of the Marxist dialectic, was freeing the socialist camp from alleged innovators and those who wanted to change the revolutionary programme.
		In November 1960, ministers close to the CP were forced to resign and the principal mass organisations of the party, the Partisans of Peace, the Youth League and the Women’s league, were closed down.
