That journal has long been a leading voice of voices associated with DSA. Whether or not it is now eclipsed by Jacobin is a legitimate question. More important was Howe's role on shaping DSA's perspective on international matters. Yes, he was a zionist but he was also a cold warrior. Toward the end of his life, he supported the Gulf War of 1991. Not all DSA leaders shared his precise views on that point, but he certainly influenced them. Harold Myerson comes to mind. In 1991 he was a columnist for the Los Angeles Weekly and a DSA member. Myerson devoted a better part of a column of his to red baiting the main local and regional anti-war coalition, attacking it as being led by a bunch of Trots. Those attacks led to the creation of a rival coalition. The war ended before the new coalition did much of anything. Whether or not the current DSA inherits the foreign policy views of Howe is - hopefully - doubtful because of the huge influx of new, younger members and the change of the group's character from a small largely paper organization to a much larger activist grouping. Given all that, the current DSA is more likely to be influenced by the politics of Bernie Sanders and less by Harrington and Howe. While that is problematic on its own terms, it is not addressed by dredging up the history of Shachtman, Harrington and the Coalition Caucus.

The main predecessor organization to DSA, the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC) arose from a personal and organizational split of Michael Harrington with Shachtman, who died in late 1972 or early 1973. Harrington announced his split with Shachtman in an article in the Nation in which he criticized, among other things, Shachtman's support of Richard Nixon in the 1972 Presidential election. Shachtman died in late 1972 or early 1973 but his co-thinkers went on to found the Social Democrats USA. At no time was he linked to the DSOC, let alone DSA. On the other hand, the legacy of Irving Howe - who is mentioned in the post that started this thread - is a real one, at least before the influx of new members. Even so, whatever influence Howe's ideas - or those of Harrington, for that matter - might have on the 50,000 DSA members, would seem to be negligible.

The situation in North America, as well as Asia and Europe in all likelihood, is different than in Australia, New Zealand and in Oceanic islands where you have animals species that were long isolated from the major continents.. Here in many cases the feral animals are most often filling ecological niches made vacant by very recent human activity or in any event, by events in the past several thousand years. Many ecologists who favor re-wilding portions of the North American continent advocate introduction of non native animals to fill such vacant niches. For instance, feral horses in the western U.S. simply fill a niche occupied by the same species before it was extirpated on the continent thousands of years ago. That is but one example. Another is the case of monk parakeets, which arguably fill the niche of the recently extinct Carolina Parakeet. Likewise, here in Northern California we have recently introduced wild turkeys. Although some of the locals gripe about it, these birds or ones like them, were once native in these parts. Even the feral pigs only occupy niches once belonging to hog like peccaries in many places. The problem, if there is one, that David describes is more the result of the absence of predators. The multiplication of feral pigs in Texas is similar in that respect to the problem of White tail deer abundance in much of the East, a problem which is attributable to the absence of large predators of any kind there, mountain lions or wolves. I don't know if mountain lions still persist in Texas in any numbers, but the local red wolf- not a species but a coyote/gray wolf hybrid - has all but disappeared. Certainly the Jaguar is gone from Texas. If those predators can be restored to something approaching their historic numbers I suspect the feral pig problem would cease to be so vexing. SR - Original Message - This is, of course, a human created situation and blame is enough to spreadaround for sure.

Re: [Marxism] Assadistas deny Yazidis were ever in danger
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == Exactly. That is my reaction. Assad, Hezbollah and the Iranians have spent a great deal of effort to demonize ISIS, especially regarding its treatment of religious minorities, so it simply does not make sense for their supporters/cheerleaders to argue there was no peril to the Yazidis.That said, it is understood or believed there are elements of the old Iraqi Baath apparatus who are fellow travelers with ISIS. One wonders whether those Iraqi Baathists might still have benefit of their old contacts in the West, if so that may explain what Andy is referring toSR- Original Message -From: Joseph Catron via Marxism marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu=Also, while I may have missed something, I don't see what interestsupporters of Assad would have in minimizing the crimes of ISIS. I wouldhave expected rather the opposite? Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
