Re: AUT: A Reply to Noam Chomsky

The mass refusals to vote (or even register)  in  the USA
does not mean a mass revolt against capitals rule now . OK true.
But the variegated mass trends of US  workers not wasting time
dropping little ballot papers for the bosses bribed puppets is much
 more than just apathy and lazyness. Many millions know their lives
 are becoming harder
and their environment , political and social, economic is deteriorating,
I think there is a better sence of this today ,so  this is a step
forward in a big section of the general consciousness- when masses don't
do their 'red , white and blue' patriotic 'duty' and vote to "uphold
our democracy " as they are told they must do by state and corporate
(and union) propaganda  (its upholding really that democracy for those
 with capital, not the ordinary working people)
Most US non-voters have voted before, more than once, they sense
they can't win spit from punching the papers because they see the
track record clearer than the likes of Chomsky and co..

Voter abstentionism is a step froward - it is a conscious motion
politically , though by itself  it pretty small beer,  but it is necessary
for the
next bigger steps, getting together with fellow workers and going
forward in building some resistances against the the pummeling the
bosses wonderful liberatory waged slavery gives to most workers.
The objective situation will more and more cry out for these next
steps and communists should encourage those workers going
forward.
The conscious NO vote was good,I'd say " you did not allow yourself
to be flim-flammed by a circus partly just set up to validate your
continued exploitation , with state regualtion of this  by both liberals
 and conservatives to keep you passive and under more illusions.
(That was a 'negation', but we must have the positive steps forward!).

You know i had a bit of repsect for Chomskys info he  has
pitched forward for  a few decades, great  exposures of US capitals
crimes--
but he not politically honest
at all. I knew this back in 1987, he was hugging and backslapping
Guillermo Ungo of the Salavadoran ruling  liberal-SD party of the time.
This
was at a Forum on the Central American Wars in Culver City, Ca.
where Ungo's party was the liberal half of the Salvadoran state (of terror)
I saw this
as as really strange act for a 'principled' self proclaimed  anarchist to
do
even though i had my own political shortcomings.
Chomsky  is OK denouncing Leninist states , but he loves liberal ruled
capitalist or european social democratic  capitalist states. He
also has a soft spot for the liberal capitalist US Democrats--(Kerry,
Kennedy, etc)
and this is really coming out now.  By his stands and influence,
he is becoming more an open servant of the bourgeoisie , and
also per his  real petty bourgeois political senses, he is not averse
 to pouring a bit of bile on workers who have the temerity to correctly
 stay away from the latest bourgeois attempt to politically chroroform
workers.
Those workers in motion , the first steps, are actually  getting the jump
on Chomsky, whos stances are becoming  more and more retrograde..
