Can you substantiate this a little? I read both pieces and can't --
for the life of my children -- find that mysterious allegedly CP "line
of reasoning."
I said it *resonated* with the CP line. That being said, the Freedom
Road Socialist Organization is ideologically rooted in Maoism, which
despite its ultraleftism never developed a critique of the Popular
Front turn that resulted in the marriage between the CP and the Democrats.
I wished we really learned from past controversies. The least we
should learn is that dishonesty in debating is a waste.
This is the same complaint I got from Stan. I would prefer to deal
with the substance. Any way you slice it, you don't get fascism
without the threat of proletarian revolution. That might be going on
somewhere else in the USA, but surely not in NYC.
