Hi Lou:

Reply to Carrol Cox.

Carrol you are getting up there - 84 in the year 2014. I hope you beat your
family average.

Still, for a guy with your experience you can really be wrong about some
things.

In the same post in which you mused about your longevity, you wrote,

"Actually, there has always been only one reason people daydream about
divisions in the ruling class. It lays the basis for cooperation with that
ruling class under the guise of cooperating with its allegedly more
progressive element."

My reasons for paying attention to fights within the ruling class are
simple: and they can be summed up as,

"united they stand, divided they fall" (of course this only is true when
our side is united and in struggle)

Incidentally, what just happened between Gore and Bush was not a daydream,
and it was a real fight within the bourgeoisie.

Anthony
