Thanks Magnus.
I've checked out the FRSO and Prarie Fire and I find that Freedom Road is
trying to address the kind of problems we are discussing here, though like
with many left movements today, it still seems to have not been able to make
inroads into the organised working class, which brings us back to the
central problem being raised here and the question remains why this is and
how it can be overcome?
