February marks the anniversary when in 1937 the Abraham Lincoln Brigade formed. The brigade was a group of almost 3000 American volunteers who went to Spain and fought the fascist sympathizers backed by Hitler and Mussolini in the Spanish Civil war. They came from all walks of life, they were socialists, anarchists, communists, unionists, Hispanic, black and white.

They were most likely the first American military unit who were commanded by a black officer, and suffered over 1,000 casualties.

They are also never recognized as American heroes. Just Reds or Anarchist rabble.

Time for that to change.

“We’ve got to rethink this question of war and come to the conclusion that war cannot be accepted, no matter what. No matter what the reasons given, or the excuse: liberty, democracy; this, that. War is by definition the indiscriminate killing of huge numbers of people for ends that are uncertain. Think about means and ends, and apply it to war. The means are horrible, certainly. The ends, uncertain. That alone should make you hesitate… . We are smart in so many ways. Surely, we should be able to understand that in between war and passivity, there are a thousand possibilities.”

It is happening. They are deployed. And – at their current rate of acceleration – they will become the dominant method of war for rich countries in the twenty-first century.
