Deliberate distortion again. What you write is nonsense. The movement existed outside the Democratic Party. The fact that you ignore that fact puts the truth to your claim of understanding "historical materialism." According to your argument, SNCC and its supporters should have been members of the Democratic Party and Jesse Jackson, rather than General Baker of the LRBW, is the one with the right strategy to...what? Secure the emancipation of black labor. I participated in the civil rights movement and the anti-war movement w/o entry into the Democratic Party. You collapse the struggle into a bourgeois party that is well-known to be the "graveyard of mass movements." I've never expressed "disdain" for any of those struggles. While the issues are s erious, you are not. The fact that you insist on deliberating distorting what is expressed here makes it clear that you're nothing more than a liar. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
