Deng Xiaoping, Leader Who Turned China Toward Capitalism Arms production stopped in many factories and military modernization was deferred, except for strategic weapons to maintain China's nuclear deterrent. But when Wei Jingsheng and his Democracy Wall colleagues turned their criticism on Deng, the Chinese leader smashed the movement and persecuted its intellectual leaders. Deng told the military that the threat of world war was receding and, therefore, the military would have to serve the civilian economy. partners.nytimes.com /library/world/0220obit-deng3.html   (2039 words)

Anti-war President Bush's announcement of a war against terrorism has mobilized a new kind of peace movement, one that is forged in the common experience of fear and grief and in the hope that any U.S. military response will not make matters worse. The U.S. Constitution provides the means for preventing George W. Bush from engaging in a war of aggression against Iraq, and from advancing a first strike potentially nuclear preemptive war. This page was created to inform you of this growing peace movement. www.geocities.com /weisskirche/anti_war.html   (567 words)

President Reagan, Nuclear War, and the Global Crusade against Soviet Communism in the 1980s Soon their anti-nuclear movement began to be called the Freeze movement. Reagan hoped that Star Wars would derail the Freeze movement because it would convince Americans that their President was committed to protecting them from the danger of nuclear war. Leaders of the Freeze movement believed that a nuclear freeze would reduce the growing tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union that were leading to nuclear war. www.colorado.edu /AmStudies/lewis/2010/nuclear.htm   (567 words)

Institute for Anarchist Studies - Anarchism's Promise for Anti-Capitalist Resistance Bookchin's unearthing of the affinity group model in his research on the Spanish anarchists, sketched in his Post-Scarcity Anarchism (1971), was influential to the anti-nuclear movement of the 1970s and 1980s in the United States. This means that anarchism's principles along with its culture and forms of organization are, for the first time, at the forefront rather than margins of a transnational social movement. This is not to say that anarchism or anarchists alone are responsible for the movement(s) contesting globalization's brutal side, that such a movement(s) started in Seattle, or even that the goal is to turn everyone into anarchists. www.anarchist-studies.org /article/articleprint/53/-1/1   (567 words)

FrontPage magazine.com :: Orwellian 'Peace' Movement by David Harsanyi Its aim is "the abolition of nuclear weapons" and to initiate something called a "peace-oriented economy." In case you were confused, they mean US unilateral abolition of nuclear weapons and capitalism is not the brand of "peace-oriented economy" they had in mind.

Behind the Headlines he movement consisted not only of pacifists, such as A. Muste and the Quakers, but also anti-Communist liberals of the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy, anti-Stalinist leftists, and the remnants of the fellow-traveling milieu represented by such groups as the U.S. Peace Council. For those too young to have lived through the sixties – or even the cold war with the Soviet Union – this was once a mighty movement of millions, whose members were convinced that nuclear apocalypse was all but inevitable. The Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy (SANE), made up of the kind of liberal Democrats who were active in Americans for Democratic Action (ADA), wouldn't touch the issue. www.antiwar.com /justin/j022800.html   (1104 words)

President Reagan, Nuclear War, and the Global Crusade against Soviet Communism in the 1980s Soon their anti-nuclear movement began to be called the Freeze movement. Leaders of this peace movement called for a nuclear freeze. Despite President Reagan's public statements that nuclear wars shouldn't be fought and can't be won, the United States continued to spend trillions of dollars on a nuclear arms build-up and prepare to fight and win nuclear wars. www.colorado.edu /AmStudies/lewis/2010/nuclear.htm   (4995 words)

Education and the environmental movement The environmental movement had made such concerns socially legitimate, whereas opposition on issues such as proliferation of nuclear weapons or centralisation of political power did not have the same social resonance. The anti-uranium movement, a much more radical movement itself within the wider environmental movement, has not been subject to this problem to a great extent, but I know of two cases in which paid workers in Australian environmental or consumer organisations have been dismissed because of their radical stands. This was one of the strengths of the anti-uranium movement for many years: community activists and labour movement activists supported each other and exchanged invaluable information and campaigning suggestions. www.uow.edu.au /arts/sts/bmartin/pubs/88Lovett.html   (7696 words)

GSD: L. Adkin The NSMs challenge the neutrality, the authority, and the rationality of bureaucratic and technocratic decision-making, as in the case of the anti-nuclear movement in France. That is, for radical elements within the alternative movements, such questions, and the "thinking" of alternatives, are their raison d'être, whereas for the unions, challenging the institutional rules or the logic of growth have not been priorities, if at all part of the conceptualisation of their role. A social movement is a very complex process - with a multiple time/space perspective - of empowerment and alternative problem-solving which assigns the finality of maximising the possibility of choices on all levels and in every aspect of social life, and creates this possibility by its capacity to engender new (multiple) options.... www.antenna.nl /~waterman/adkin.html   (6454 words)

20th Pugwash Workshop Study Group on the Implementation of the CBW Conventions: The BWC Intersessional Process towards the Sixth Review Conference and Beyond These included very local efforts, such as those by citizens on the tiny island of Palau who stood up time and again against US pressure to amend their anti-nuclear constitution. The role of citizens' groups in pressing for nuclear disarmament is the subject of historian Lawrence S. Wittner's sweeping trilogy, The Struggle for the Bomb.

nuclear disarmament wayne hall spectrezine 5th july 2003 The INF Treaty was billed as the first step in a process to culminate in universal nuclear disarmament, but what anti-nuclear activists were really celebrating was the demise of the World Peace Council, the old-style-Communist peace movement which insisted on having a single rule for both Soviet and American nuclear weapons. Henceforth two standards were being applied: American nuclear weapons were to be judged by one set of criteria. I became a member of the non-aligned European peace movement from the early eighties onward, and this was the central plank of our politics. www.spectrezine.org /war/waynehall2.htm   (567 words)

United for Peace: Index One great way to do that - and to support the movement to end the war in Iraq - is by purchasing anti-war buttons, t-shirts, and magnets from UFPJ. United for Peace and Justice is helping to build several regional actions in California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Tennessee, as well as local activities throughout the country, that will commemorate this history and re-affirm the call for the elimination of nuclear weapons worldwide. We call for an end to the Iraq war and the worldwide abolition of all nuclear weapons! www.unitedforpeace.org   (190 words)

Taiwanese aborigine The Tao have since stood at the forefront of the anti-nuclear movement and launched several exorcisms and protests to remove the waste they claim has resulted in deaths and sickness. For their part, supporters of Chinese reunification do not in generally object to the interest in aboriginal affairs and argue that this illustrates the broadness and diversity of the Chinese identity and point out that this interest in indigineous peoples parallels a similar interest in Mainland China as part of the Xungen movement. There is currently a movement by the aborigines to return to their traditional sites and find ways to remain on their lands, continue their culture and speak their languages while earning a living. www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/taiwanese_aborigine   (190 words)

Kashmir can spark off nuclear conflict: Sir Michael For a mathematician by profession it was his speech as president of the Royal Society in London criticising the nuclear weapons, it won him accolades and he got associated with the Pugwash movement. For him the recipe to stem the tide of nuclear weapons was to have an effective verification and control mechanism that cheeks the spread of nuclear weapons. According to him there is also a concern about the escalation of hostilities between the two countries that may spark a nuclear conflict in South Asia. www.jammu-kashmir.com /archives/archives1999/99october12a.html   (190 words)

wjh.art LaRouche exposed the genocidal policies of Jimmy Carter's backers, such as George Ball and W. Averell Harriman, for drastic reduction of populations such as Mexico's, and the nuclear confrontation policy of James R. Schlesinger. Out of this work, Helga Zepp-LaRouche founded the Club of Life in October 1982 as a specific institution to counter the anti-life and genocide policies of the Club of Rome. LaRouche argued that the conflicts in the region were the result of manipulation by the British and their representatives, such as Henry Kissinger. www.gigdig.com /~conspiracy/wjh.art   (3613 words)

Israeli convicted of transferring nuclear technology to Pakistan It is a vast fraud: sacrifice of the unimportant and insignificant settlements in Gaza and in the Sinai approaches in return for perpetuating the wrongs and perversions of the Israeli soul in the heart of Hebron, at Yitzhar, at Beit El and in patriarchal tombs that have become altars for binding living sons. www.vtjp.org   (3613 words)

Oxford Research Group - The Human Face of Political Dissent This is the same social profile that is seen as the core social base for activists in the 'new politics' movements such as the more radical forms of environmentalism, feminism and the peace movement of the 1980s. This, combined with the lessons of the 2001 General Election, when many traditional Labour voters stayed at home, may give Labour leaders cause for concern if the numbers who were present on February 15th represent a wider and continuing current of anti-war dissent on the left. In contrast to the 1980s large peace demonstrations, political parties and trade unions seem to play a much smaller role, perhaps reflecting the decline in the significance of the day-to-day work of large-scale organisations in securing mass mobilizations. www.oxfordresearchgroup.org.uk /publications/briefings/iraqprotest.htm   (2442 words)

FC.144 The Nuclear arms race Finally, as nuclear arsenals grew and with them the threat of nuclear Armageddon, an anti-nuclear movement emerged in the West. However, despite the perception that nuclear weapons were more cost effective than conventional weapons, providing more “bang for the buck”, so to speak, they were also prohibitively expensive. In 1968 the nuclear non-proliferation treaty committed a large number of nations to not developing nuclear weapons. www.flowofhistory.com /Reading144.MAD.htm   (1582 words)

TomPaine.com - Anti-War America The anti-war movement needs more adults in charge, not folks trying to pretend it’s 1968 all over again, without all the drugs. For example, the upcoming ‘United for Peace and Justice’ rally is going to protest the war, the World Bank, Israel, and demand unilateral Nuclear Disarmament. The September 24 Washington rally referred to above is co-sponsored by International ANSWER, which along with “Stop the War in Iraq” offers these slogans: “Support the Palestinian People’s Right of Return,”  “U.S. out of the Philippines,” and “U.S. out of Puerto Rico.”  (Somehow help for Darfur is missing. That must not be anti-imperialist enough.)  www.tompaine.com /articles/20050830/antiwar_america.php   (321 words)
