    I agree 100% -- and wish that more Marxists would embrace this
position. I would also like to see Marxists -- be they of the stalinist
or trotskyist variation, or however they identity with the movement --
form a common front in the present struggle to win over the minds
of the masses. We can worry about who will specifically lead the
revolutionary struggle after we have built up a significant movement.
