Michael Roberts' article on the CCP takes the wrong approach. There are plenty of capitalist political organizations and parties in which the working class composes a large sector and the capitalists themselves are only a small minority. The Democratic Party is a (very imperfect) example. It doesn't really have a membership, per se. And it varies from state to state. But I'm sure that at almost all state conventions of that party, there would be a significant working class component of delegates and that the capitalists themselves would not be very numerous. Despite that, it is a capitalist party.
As far as the CCP, the only way to answer the question of whether it is a capitalist or working class party or something in between would be to see its dynamics. How decisions are made, what is the relationship between the party leaders and the capitalist class, etc. John Reimann -- *“Science and socialism go hand-in-hand.” *Felicity Dowling Check out:https:http://oaklandsocialist.com also on Facebook -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
