Doyle;
We can consider socialism anytime, but no mass movement limits the
speculation. Or at least that is how I interpret 1978 to 2008. It
was simply impossible to get a major mass movement going in the U.S.
no matter how good socialist analysis was. And I think that analysis
can only be so so when there is no major movement to support it.
Contrary I have thought it important to do something from 1978 to
now. And others have acted throughout this period. I think looking
back and understanding why that period was bleak in the U.S. might be
good scholarship and help us in the future. That sort of thinking is
not so freighted with impossibles as doing something during a
conservative period.
thanks,
Doyle Saylor
