For years now--and longer--there was nothing stopping radicals from organizing independent mass actions. Had we been exercising this function, we'd not be left as essentially consumers and cheerleaders to electoral politics. It can surprise nobody that the Democrats did nothing to build on the unprecedented mass marches that greeted Trump's inauguration, but radicals have done very little but watch events from the sidelines. When Trump was foisting Kavenaugh onto us, for example, public sentiment was such as would have supported demonstrations that could have flooded the capital with supporters and choked the process . . . which would have cut one of the main motives for the Republicans to sustain their criminal president. Over 50% of the public wanted Trump removed from the presidency, and the Left did nothing more than the Democrats wanted done, so we're still paying the price for that. The pathetic history of radicals in the current election campaign simply extends that role. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
