Well, the Leninists were wrong about the SP, they were wrong about the "centrists", they were wrong about lots of things. The SP of the USA was nothing like the Democratic Party and attracted many capable working-class militants. Cannon bragged about eviscerating the SP. We need to start all over, I'm afraid. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
