[Marxism] Replace ABB with ABC

[Chris Brady <cdbrady@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have long felt that the militarist analogy might be better employed by
the left and leftish --but not as it is reflexively anticipated, not as
a rigid top-down hierarchy, but as a fluid, organic group of forces
adaptable to various situations.  I would suggest a re-examination of
General Giap's long-term, three-stage development of anti-imperialist
struggle as a general guide, and fold into the mix a perception of
"strains" on the left, e.g., CP, Trots, Maoists, Social
Democrats/Progressives, anarkids, etc., as serving certain valuable
roles in the struggle.  They shouldn't neutralize each other as they
have been doing.  It's a big world with a lot of people.  Some folks are
better at certain work than others by their natures, sizes, whatever, so
they may be better outriders while others may be best skilled at working
in mass organization(s).  Others may be better schmoozing public
relations.  Others better at tactics, others with strategy.  I also
don't think that the Popular Front vs. United Front dichotomy is useful
any longer.  Streamline Malcolm's famous utilitarian line into:
"By all means."

If you want to, there's dancing.

Replace ABB (Anything But Bush) with ABC (Anything But Capitalism).
