SWP & Oct. 6

["David Altman" <altman_d@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Fred Feldman wrote, in reply to my earlier query:

"...Since then, there have been several references to Lenin's correct
statement against Kautsky and others, who set aside revolutionary struggle
for the duration of World War I in favor of the fight for "peace," that
revolutionists do not have a revolutionary policy for peacetime and a
pacifist policy for wartime.  As I understand it, present thinking is that
Lenin's precept requires the SWP to carry out an undifferentiated communist
campaign against imperialism and for communism, without tactical adjustments
to such things as antiwar protests..."

Thanks, Fred.  The above applied equally as well during the war in Vietnam,
so of course this is a big change for the SWP.  Will the SWP now renounce
its previous "pacifist" policy of leading the movement against the Vietnam
war?  Will it stop selling Fred Halstead's book "Out Now!"  Somehow I think
not.

Such are the subtleties of Marxism-Leninism-JackBarnes Thought!
