Communist ideas , platforms, tactics, are no ones private
property  or should any forces  have 'copyrights'  to
them. Those workers, etc. who have gone through previous
experiences in capitalism , in practical life, and  in
theorizing the wider experience of  the class, historically,
as a whole should  be happy to share these things with the
wider sections of the class as a whole . They should
attempt to merge this undertstanding with the wider class
in political motion, esp. on the questions of
fighting capitalist warmaking , austerity drives of capital
against labor in crisis.
Do you think communists (and other serious anti-capitalist
trends) should  just keep these views to
ourselves , alone? If so, then what should communists be
doing at this stage in relation to ongoing motions?

On your point against using maladroit jargon that may unessesarily
turn people off ,  Ok , this should be corrected , but better
in collective discourse too, but  maybe in conjunction  with the more
substantial  material issues, e.g, the sorting out  of changes in the
composition of the class as a whole , and relation to other social
groups, and what forced the  changes,  etc.
But to make  such a tsimis over one word (masses), i think is to
cover over what are probably more important differences on  key
political questions. NO?

neil.
