AUT: ANSWER and the liberals



Thomas S--

You are acurate in your description of the
Neo-stalinist  WWP's  anti-workers politics .
Their whole platform of supports to state-cap
regimes - for decades  even as they mow down workers
in revolt,  should be exposed and opposed.

But you are dead wrong as you terribly underestimate
the influence of the US  Democratic Party - of which the WWP
provides  political tailwinds for its lib-lab wing . The DPs lib -lab
politics are skilled - slick - and clever , they partly
come from many 'left' outfits, the Religious
groups  - imperialist -pacifists,, organized UN promoters,
community -nationalist forces,  left-union hacks ,and the
 pseudo-socialists a la the DSA and the CPUSA,
 and  whole regiments  of DP elected 'officials'  Reps.
Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee,  Kucinich, and
wannabees a la Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton,who
 head the 'speakers podiums' at the mass actions
and promote the worst  political graveyard chores for pacifcation
of the masses.

In 1990-1 these many of these guys (and gals) pulled a real
slick fast one climbing on board piggybacking  the rulers
slogans like  'support our troops' especially on the eve of
Gulf War 1. This campaign  really had a pol. paralyzing
effect on the protest movement forces back then.
They may try something similar in the next few weeks??

This is one reason I tried  to emphasize in the ongoing
 discourse here,  mainly with Chris W. and Harald
on the pol-ideological struggles of communists, etc in
todays mass motions against the war in the US to oppose
these trends inside the movement itself -openly . .  I would
also aver that this is difficult work , dare i  say that doing this
work with some better effect can only be done seriously  with Pol.
Organizations of revolutionaries,  based  on those who want
to struggle for workers controlled society.  To try to
carry on a counter-struggle  against the DP liberals and state-caps
 without  Pol Org.  is like trying to swim the Atlantic Ocean, & to
wait for 'spontaniety' to provide the workers  solution is to believe in
religious miracles

Here we have the even modern material examples of the political-
movement  actions of real opposing forces arrayed in action . I say to
my differing comrades here, the challenge is really
in your court now;

Hic Roda - Hic Salta
Heres the rose, now dance!
(marx)
..

Of course the question is what kind of Organizations
are politically necessary fro workers to advance -- in
this we have a lot to deabte.

Neil
