[Marxism] Fwd: The U.S. doesn’t have a strong third party, and it hurts labor unions the most - The Washington Post

U.S. unions seemed to get the better deal at the time, but the New Deal 
coalition was ultimately a “barren marriage.“ As a junior partner within 
the Democratic Party, labor focused on its “inside game” of influencing 
sympathetic allies to win reforms. Whatever bargains it could win thus 
appeared not as broad gains for workers, but as payoffs to a narrow 
Democrat “special interest.” By contrast, Canadian labor’s electoral 
threat combined with worker mobilization created a bargaining process to 
enforce industrial peace, one that even labor’s opponents understood the 
value of maintaining. This ensured a more legitimate Canadian labor law 
regime that strengthened over time.

In the SWP, which I joined in late in the summer 1969, it was soon 
evident that my status could be described as “resident alien.” I was 
drawn to the proletarian/bohemian legacy of the SWP’s past while being 
distrustful of the burgeoning group of younger and in some cases 
two-dimensional zealots on the make from elite colleges. The 
midwestern-born leader of this bland but hardworking undeclared faction 
initially struck me as serious and polite but turned out to be a control 
freak with a mysterious inner core. Still, he and his disciples were 
mostly in my peripheral vision, and the truth is that their political 
strategies of the late 1960s and early 1970s were often sound and 
professionally implemented. They were far superior to sections of the 
Left that relied on disruption and public display more than careful 
planning, and were thankfully remote from the sequence of sectarian 
Trotskyist split-off groups that started in 1956 (most of those going by 
the bizarre term “anti-Pabloite”).


Besides, if one wasn’t interested in fighting for “leadership,” which I 
wasn’t, there was something of a live-and-let-live attitude. I never 
voted in favor of the SWP majority’s resolutions but certainly had no 
intention of undermining the organization. I loyally recruited 
individuals who showed an interest, and I learned a great deal from the 
political meetings, forums, classes, and planning of demonstrations. 
(Sales and proselytizing, however, were circumvented by me as much as 
possible.) In April 1971, I was an SWP candidate for the Berkeley City 
Council, an office for which I was monumentally unqualified. More 
suitably, I had served as the organizer of two large YSA locals and as 
an alternate member of the YSA National Committee, before I was asked at 
age twenty-five to resign from the YSA in the fall of 1971. This demand 
was due to my known lack of confidence in the rising star from the 
Midwest, who consolidated his reign that year. From then on I was a 
contented rank-and-filer of the SWP who did simple tasks, wrote literary 
reviews, and sometimes gave some classes on Marxism and culture.


With my newfound freedom from organizational responsibilities, three 
Trotskyist veteran writers of the 1930s, all named George, all 
“Cannonites” (associated with SWP founder James P. Cannon), took an 
unexpected and extraordinarily generous interest in me. Whatever they 
thought of my personal politics (we didn’t discuss this much at first), 
they had seen enough of my work to feel confident that I would be 
competent to accurately research Marxist cultural history. The upshot 
was that over the next fifteen years they shared much “inside” 
information, opening many doors. The three Georges, apparently a popular 
first name for Jewish Americans of their generation—George Novack 
(1905–92), George Weissman (half Jewish, 1916–85), and George Breitman 
(1916–86)—meticulously reviewed my research without ever forcing any of 
their opinions on me and urged that I try to publish in places that I 
felt were beyond my reach. That may have been my real “graduate school.” 
They served as a wonderful complement to the brilliant scholars and 
teachers who guided my literary work at the University of California at 
Berkeley, Henry Nash Smith (1906–86), Larzer Ziff (b. 1927), and 
Frederick Crews (b. 1933). Developing a scholarly life that had high 
standards but was decidedly driven by concerns other than one’s 
professional career, I was getting the best of both worlds.


What I also gained in the SWP was an irreplaceable political schooling 
from the older working-class militants and veterans of 1930s–50s social 
movements: Asher Harer, Sylvia Weinstein, Berta Green Langston, Frank 
Lovell, and Ann Chester are a few of the names of individuals still 
vivid in my memory. At the same time, I didn’t share or repeat the 
legacy of factional tirades against “Shachtmanites,” “Cochranites,” and 
so forth, and I was emphatically disaffected from various younger 
apparatchiks with briefcases who were always on the phone to the 
national office. (One firebrand orator, Peter Camejo [1939–2008], was 
among the exceptions to this bureaucratic style.) What kept me a member 
for over a decade was agreement with a number of specific policies that 
still are guideposts. I was partly won to the organization by the 
writings of James P. Cannon on “defensive formulations and the 
organisation of action,” and I was an enthusiast of the SWP approach to 
building a mass antiwar movement formulated in the mid to late 
1960s.[11] But I never found the organization’s “big picture” of what 
was going to happen in the 1970s

I wouldn't try to engage Charles Brown on Marxmail. He was probably 
responding on LBO-Talk or Marxism-Thaxis and was unaware that Marxmail

The United States media's latest offensive against Venezuela's socialist
President Nicolas Maduro targets a new sustainability program that
transplants urban workers to farmland. Some quarters of the mainstream
media have equated it with slave labour.

n an opinion piece published by The New Arab on July 26, 2016, 
Palestinian-American professor, Steven Salaita, argued that in the 
presidential race between Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and 
Republican nominee Donald Trump, we can only consider the former a 
“lesser evil” if we believe Palestinians are “lesser human beings.” As 
Salaita claimed, this is because “Clinton supports the ethnic cleansing 
of the Palestinian people.” In other words, those who recklessly endorse 
the logic of “lesser evilism” often neglect its victims—in this case, 
the Palestinians.


Almost immediately after Salaita’s article was published, I noticed many 
leftists sharing it widely on social media, and praising him for 
highlighting the hypocrisy of those who accept the platitude of “lesser 
evilism” as applied to Clinton. Astonishingly, they were, in many cases, 
the very same individuals who have applied that botched logic to Syrian 
President Bashar Al-Assad, claiming he is a necessary evil in the fight 
against ISIS and other “Islamic extremists.”

The stand-off between the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) majority who
tried to perpetrate the anti-Corbyn coup on one side, and the elected
leader, majority of members and most affiliated trade unions on the other,
has led some commentators to speak of a looming “existential crisis” in
Labour. An apocalyptic tone suddenly began to colour the debate about the
future.

Opening today at the Village East theater in NY and the Arclight in Los 
Angeles, “Abortion: Stories Women Tell” is as the title indicates a 
documentary that consists entirely of interviews with women from 
Missouri who have been forced to get an abortion in Illinois because of 
restrictions in their own state. Under the impact of conservative 
legislators, Missouri only has one abortion clinic now and forces women 
to go through a 72-hour waiting period before undergoing the procedure 
and does not even make an exception for rape or incest.


Although Republican Party legislators justified passing the law in 
September 2011 on the basis that it would facilitate reflection on the 
part of the pregnant woman about going through with an abortion, the 
real impact is economic coercion. Such laws, which exist also in Utah 
and South Dakota, force women to travel long distances and take time off 
from work to reach a clinic. Right now the only one is in St. Louis. 
Since economic hardship is one of the main driving forces behind getting 
an abortion, the loss of a couple of day’s work can create havoc for 
women, especially those without a partner. The anti-abortion movement 
cynically calculates that some women will decide to have the baby and 
give it up for adoption, a hollow victory except if your belief system 
rests on the idea that heaven and hell exist, with angels, devils and 
all the rest.

In this light, we find many of the aforementioned “woker-than-thou” film 
reviews to be wholly unfair and frankly, quite unfounded – not to 
mention demoralizing. Two reviews we encountered are particularly 
egregious in their nearly wholesale denouncement of The Free State of 
Jones. The first is Eileen Jones’ review in Jacobin and the other is 
Vann R. Newkirk’s in The Atlantic. Jones’ piece comes off as a brag 
about how much more she knows about the Civil War than everyone else, 
save for Eric Foner, with accusations of epic mansplaining for good 
measure. Meanwhile, Newkirk’s is practically the poster child for the 
most unproductive and divisive aspects of ultra-left identity politics.
