CB: My buddy, Bob King. Comment Bob's cool and at this point see himself as a one time president. He has invited all and anyone to come forth with new proposition on what to do in the fight for the life of the trade union movement. This includes the Reds and especially the Reds because no one else is in motion. Life is funny. Life is funny and the connections are historical for the working class. Bob King did his apprenticeship under my dad. Yep. We have watched his career from day one. Brother retired with 40 years seniority and 15 as an International Representative of the UAW, so as a collective you and I know everyone. The inexorable loop of life asserts itself. it is our time, right now. And our fight for the unity of a real class in real time is going to rewrite our history. This shits more exiting than a one man band. The fear of Bob King is this: "Will he be to intellectual to lead the union along another path." This is a real fear not to be belittled. The only reason the historically reactionary mutherfuckers - "I don't reason books but know everyone in my district and what they want and need" can be defeated is the depths of the economic crisis at this defining moment - as Obama puts things. We are roughly at 1920 at a higher lever. What is different is that the communists forces are not predominately foreign born as was the case in 1919. This is in the context of 343,000 auto workers of whom 70 - 75% were native born. Yet, by 1923 the first auto workers union had been formed. What did they do and how did they do this? This was under conditions of the Palmer Raids ad witch hunts. I reject the specific Leninist form and not political Leninism. Now is the time to be bold. Let us march on til victory is won Proletarians Unite.
