Chris W, / Herald, et al,

Yes, Chris, Autopsy list  is one  venue for the communists/left,
anarchists, councilists, etc, to  have debate, and discourse, necessarily
very heated sometimes, of course - maybe make contacts-friends
to work with too..
But this venue has a lot of differences too with  mass actions,
demos, meetings, where there is direct human contact, etc.
 Here we have a majority thet are inside the proletarain camp -
 or somewhere around it,  Outside, we are a tiny minority- today
really up against it -- all forms of bourgeois , petty bourg. ideology-
politics and  its well funded Orgs. who  historically have been the rulers
little helpers-- usually  from the official/unofficial 'left' of capital..

my point here is that communists have to be scientific and
study the pol. terrian of struggle/methods employed in the  big
mass motions because just looking to objective criteria alone
to bring the masses into revolutionary conclusions, determination,
steadfastness to  wage a  good fight for rev. changes  is woefully lacking
the social contradictions involve BOTH  objective and subjective
factors at work. Yes, I think an Comm. internationalist Pol. currents will
grow in influence to some degree and eventually new parties will be born --
but
mainly out of the new struggles growing themselves.  But also likely is
that
as the crisies deepen , reactionary  forces growth , maybe even coming
originally from 'populism' of various sorts, is a big possiblilty too.

So, yes to  a degree, communists have to wage a battle for the hearts and
minds of workers doing so  politically Organized -- things don't stand
still -- we
can oscillate both forward and backward.- The rulers  trends -- including
their
state-cap 'left' wings will not stand still either, they are working and
will
work like trojans for their 'solutions' .  My advise is we had better be
politically
 working at least as hard for our wageless- classless and stateless ones
as well ..

Herald  doubts  that in the big US  march 'official' organizers really "
controlled"
 most of the 200,000 that marched in Wash DC on the 18th -- maybe not
formally,
Organizationally,  but their class/social/political   influences   in
the  mass consciousness  is sure to have existed and  is no doubt
imbibed ideologically   in stronger  doses than he thinks , by the nature
and
conscious functioning of capitalist  social relations & dominance
themselves..
