Vietnam Veterans Against The War Anti-Imperialist
Vietnam Veterans Against the War Anti-Imperialist (VVAWAI) is a small group based in Seattle, Washington claiming to be one of two groups formed after the split of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). VVAW, Inc is the other. The VVAW, Inc web site originally described VVAWAI as "the creation of an obscure, ultra-left sect called the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP) ... designed to pimp off of VVAW's history of struggle" and currently uses a modified version of that description omitting reference to the Revolutionary Communist Party. VVAWAI states they have no affiliation with the current VVAW, Inc, but shares the legacy of the original VVAW.

“The most absurd apology for authority and law is that they serve to diminish crime. Aside from the fact that the State is itself the greatest criminal, breaking every written and natural law, stealing in the form of taxes, killing in the form of war and capital punishment, it has come to an absolute standstill in coping with crime. It has failed utterly to destroy or even minimize the horrible scourge of its own creation.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
