RE: [Marxism] The 1840s



Ummm....If I'm reading that piece rightly, a Democrat is complaining
that the Liberty Party tilted the balance in 1844 to a
Democrat...strange thing for a Democratic to complain about. ...and if
we had done nothing, we'd still be electing J.K. Polks today. ...well,
in a sense, we are.

Still, if truth counts for anything, the Liberty Party had nothing like
that impact. As Free Soilers in 1848, they helped tilt some states one
way or the other, but it was a matter of denying the Whigs one state and
the Democrats another.

The platforms of a lot of these third parties are posted at
