Can't say I'm a very happy left social democrat, but in the
absence, of a mass, radical democratic left, I'll take working in the less
reality impaired precincts of the social democratic swamp. At least they
have read and thought and organized, more successfully in bourgeois
democracies than your crew has.

CB: It is not clear that this is factually true. Left social democrats don't have too
many successful organizings that I can see, except by becoming right "social
democrats". Where there were successes, it is not clear that communists didn't play
as big or bigger role than the social democrats. In other words, where are the forces
of the voices who criticize the Trotskyists, et al. ? More in your mind than in
matter. LEFT social democrats seem as sectarian as the Bolsheviks they criticize.
There is little evidence that they are less reality impaired.
