[Marxism] Shades of "part of the way with LBJ"

[Brian Shannon <Brian_Shannon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 In Golden Gate Park this weekend, thousands of young, idealistic,
politically active people gathered to demand that their government end
an untenable war, much as John Kerry did 30 years ago. On this weekend,
though, one booth was selling a T-shirt on which was silk-screened a
depiction of U.S. Sen. John Kerry, grinning foolishly. The text on the
shirt touted a vote for:

John Kerry
The Lesser Evil
We'll Go Backward Less Fast

The shirts seemed to be selling.

IMO, this is actually an advance over the SDS/1964 era slogan. After
illusion, a deep cynicism is progress.
