[Marxism] RE: Albert in Kerryland

These are good questions.  I think that most liberal folk do take Znet
seriously, just like they take the elections seriously.  I'm not so sure
anyone takes Michael (or PARECON)
seriously, other than himself.

What's so bad about this DP copnvention stuff is that despite all the
glaring evidence that there is still not a dime's worth of difference
between the Republicans and Democrats, so many of the Left aristocracy (such
as Albert) have felt themselves obliged to make the traditional loyalty oath
to liberalism,  That being the mantra, that it is self evident that a Kerry
presidency would be a quite major change for the better from Bush being in
office.

It's like the liberal progressive radical set have suffered mass amnesia in
regards to how it really was while under Clinton.  What others remember,
though, are Waco and Yugoslavia and the rise of Walmart and ManPower 'career
opportunities' and the slide to health care in the ER.  And who can forget
Clinton's escalation of the drug war and all the expanded police apparatus
and prisons that came with it?  For Albert, the grand theoretician that he
is, to posit that the Democrats are some sort of braking action for
Reaganism/ Bushism runs totally counter to the history books.  But it runs
perfectly well together with the standard national political mythology of
the 2-party system supposedly being a kind of counerpositioning of
themserlves constantly to each other. They are not, Michael.  They work
together and this should be A-B-C to any conscious citizen inside the US
today.

Tony
