Well, of course. The bourgeois politicians opposed to the Kremlin will naturally have relied on the West. This is not news. If Mohammed Elbaradei had somehow won an election in Egypt, you would have found the same sorts of connections. But do we smear the people who went to Tahrir Square because of that? Bourgeois elections are the means by which the ruling class maintains its power. Someone, can't remember who, cracked a joke. After 4 years of austerity, people might just go to the polls and re-elect a Putinite stooge. What is of importance to us is the mass movement. Some like Bill, a hard-core Stalinist ideologically, would prefer to see Ukraine permanently aligned with the Kremlin because of nostalgia for the USSR. Or who knows what the hell Bill thinks. He seems incapable of writing a fully developed analysis. Maybe he can write something about computers and socialism that would certainly have some substance. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
