And look how the Panthers ended up. Every Left organization that has tried to 
act as a social service agency, either fades away, or ends up in the democratic 
party. This doesn't mean that Leftists can't demand that the social service 
agencies do their jobs, or fight for reforms. For example fighting poverty, 
which is caused by unemployment, or underemployment. We don't say, "well I 
guess we have to wait for the end of capitalism to deal with this." Nope. We 
fight for the right of workers to organize, full employment through a shorter 
work week, and/or a massive public works program, just for starters, at the 
same time, building anti-imperialist consciousness. We have to do it all. It's 
a daunting job, but I say we're all up to it. I have the world of confidence in 
you, Joe.
