Insulted Connolly? Not exactly. Nobody excludes an alliance with the radical petty bourgeoisie-- there was that alliance in Russia, too. With the Left-SRs. The question, issue, is what type of alliance, around what program. Correa is not a representative of the petty bourgeoisie. He's the representativ of the bourgeoisie. The point was that Connolly never separated Ireland's right to self-government from the class struggle. He was convinced that it could only be established through class conscious workers taking power. That's why his work is so significant, at least that's what he wrote. Connolly in his writings put labor at the centre of th Irish struggle. Nothing about Correa approaches that level of class analysis. I have no intention of turning Connolly into a loyalist. But it appears that you have an intention of draining his work of its class significance, and in that is the real insult and distortion of his politics. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Palmer" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2010 8:40 PM Subject: Re: [Marxism] [More] Interesting details on Ecuador ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
