So are the social democrats and the CP. Reformism and ultraleftism are the opposite sides of the same coin, just as they have always been. Both seek to effect political change by going over the heads of the masses. Greece is in urgent need of a vanguard party--as opposed to the toy models of the "Marxist-Leninist" sects. This mailing list does not have the power to create such a party by magic but we do have the obligation to point out self-defeating tactics. Unless this *anti-democratic* tendency of some anarchists to engage in firebombing, etc. is repudiated, the movement in Greece will be hobbled in the same way that ultraleftism helped crater the 1960s radical movement. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
