"Here a definition of strategy I will not be using." CB: Because ? Reply WL. It defines the context of strategy as how to get to socialism, rather than a line of march to pursue given one historically specific boundary. Comment That is I have absolutely no clue as to how to achieve the first stage of economic communism in America -socialism. The path and form of our proletarian revolution has not presented itself - at least in my mind, yet. During the Obama campaign I did not the emergence of OAR's - open air rallies, involving 60,000 - 80,000 people, which was off the scale and outside any of my experience. I do have a line of march along the path articulating the demands of the working class from the standpoint if its most poverty stricken sector. Consider: 60% of our working class makes $14 an hour and less. Before taxes $560 a week or $29,120 pre tax earning. Line of march means engaging this section of the working class and bringing it into all kinds of organization including organizations of revolutionaries. Not Leninist organizations. Strategy within this line of march deals with determining where one is going to throw their main blow or concentrate their forces "doing what." Fighting for socialism as a context is to wide for me. Fighting for a communist gravity well is pretty easy. A communist gravity well means the actual demands this designated section of the workers are spontaneously raising. A communist gravity well or fighting for a communist polarity does not mean fighting for Marxism or to abolish private property in the here and now, which is the same as saying "fighting for socialism," or the "road to socialism." I admire anyone that sees the path and or road to socialism from right now March 23, 2010 America. An important aspect of communist strategy within line of march is propaganda. Propaganda comes first and foremost along with a sustain fight to build up a class ideology. One for all and all for one kind of thing. By that is meant developing and distributing ones party press and literature, written to exactly match the moment. Yes, I have a strategy but not a strategy as the author in question conceives the road to socialism. Plus, how you gonna have a real strategy within a shift load of social forces in contention and within ones organization, allowing one to make an assessment of the contending forces? .
