AUT: RE: Democratic centralism

["Per-Anders Svärd" <per-anders.svard@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I think we all can agree that the concept of "democratic centralism" is a notoriously vague one, and that, historically, it has been used by various leninist groups to meet very reactionary and oppressive ends. Therefore it would be interesting to hear exactly what George refers to when he says that "the principle of DC is a correct one".

Regarding the role of the rev. party/organisation (as concieved by you, George)  - should it, for instance, participate in national elections and other State activities?

In solidarity,
Per-Anders Svärd
