Re: The Left Needs a New Strategy

Dimitry, just for the record: I don´t speak for the CCC here. And the "both sides" strawman you are creating is just trying to obscure the problem that "the ends justify the means" is not a long-term viable concept for both ethical and practical reasons. Idolizing an imperialist and oppressive s

Hello, Excuse me Dmytri but one-dimensional analyses don't help anyone (the oppressed or the confused) develop a winning new left strategy (if such a thing actually exists). And, if you think it does maybe you should post the email address so we can download the winning game plan. You think the

In May 1968 nearly all of us red-bloodied patriots had never heard or seen or knew a real live admitted Marxist, with full black beard and longish hair, intense eyes, speaking quietly to a group of students sitting on a university floor, having just joined a sit-in and awaited directions from a
