Comrade, I cannot find a single observation here that I disagree with. The comrade wrote “…it is not a question of whether the Republicans need a majority to return to power; it’s a question of whether they can shoe-horn support from about one third of the people into power through the means described above.” That rock-ribbed, rock-solid ‘third’ is the danger here and work needs to be done not just with self-defense organizing against these people but, again as the comrade says, “A working class and socialist alternative is necessary. That means building a mass working class movement” that posits a new way of life and not shirking from using the ‘s’ word. Problem is that they have taken the question of socialism and did their organizing work using the anti-‘s’ as a ‘bogeyman’.. We need to reclaim socialism as an issue posited by our side and discuss it with comrades and codify our conclusions as to how it is the socialism might work here. It is not a charge that needs be ducked and dodged but embraced.
