Reply CB I try not to be a hater. There is another aspect of the CPUSA equation which I have spoken about in the past. That is the location of their cadre in heavy industry and the inability of any group to shift their forces to a new front of struggle. Let me be clear. When the Negro peoples movement of that period broke out, the bulk of the militants were located in heavy industry and specifically the trade union movement. This is no crime. No organization could demand its members quite their jobs and go to the new front of social struggle. Especially, when the members were under attack by the government. ^^^^^^^ CB: Yes. And comrades like the Deacons of Defense, James Jackson and others played important roles in the Civil Rights movement. Somebody told me that Rosa Parks was a Party member. ^^^^^^^ Today is different. There is a core of retired workers who can shift to any front of struggle because they are not tied to an employer. You are perhaps the youngest amongst us and you are not young. :-) WL. ^^^^ CB: I'm definitely old :>) _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list [email protected] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
