Good old Abe said 'a nation divided cannot stand.'  Neither can a party
such as ours.  Maybe I am to idealistic, but if we continue to focus on
our differences, and who is 'smarter' or 'radical'" or who would be
better suited to fit in the party...we will accomplish NOTHING."


Comment

I had to retrace this thread and other of your comments to try and construct
who I think or imagine myself to understand the context. It is fascinating
that the various writers and activists partaking of Marxmail are conceived as a
"party" despite "ideological" and different political postures on a variety of
issues.

I am also keeping in mind that Marxism is a name brand of communism, and my
personal path from Christian communism to Marxism/communism. Marx and Engels
did not invent the communist doctrine. Our collective fight is for the happiness
of humanity or apparently what you call beauty.

Perhaps, some of us "old industrial warriors" - abolitionists on the side of
the proletariat, need to consider lowering the bar on our noble ideology
without surrendering our brand name. Interesting.

By no means is Marxmail what we have in the past called a Leninist form of
party. Then again many of us advocate the over throw of the old Leninists form
and your view seems to intersect with that proposition.

Interesting.
