CB: The Left might follow the lead of the left of the Congressional Black Caucus in supporting Obama critically ( not an attack; trotskyism , smile). The CBC interestingly placed its critical activity practically at the center of the current class struggle which is the working class versus finance capital, and the latter's big ripoff of trillions.
How does one follow the "lead" of the CBC? Go on the Chris Matthews show and bleat about how much the Black community is suffering? The crisis of Black leadership is writ larger than the planet Jupiter in this historical moment. The bourgeoisie was showing how far-sighted it could be by pumping millions into the Obama campaign. Not since another politician of African descent became elected president of another republic in the Western Hemisphere, also with Communist support, have you had so many people hoodwinked. I am of course talking about Batista in Cuba. It took a couple of decades for people to rally against him, led by Fidel Castro. We need that kind of leadership here and now.
