Re: [Marxism] Camejo to speak at CCNY

[Michael Feldman <mr.feldman@xxxxxxxxx>]

This might sound pretty simple but what exactly are we arguing about
here? Nader and Camejo are for capitalism. We are against it. Just
because Camejo WAS  a marxist at one point doesn't mean anything. What
if David Horrowitz ran for president, would we be discussing his work
when he was a marxist or exposing him for what he really is? Don't get
me wrong, I think all the reformist stuff Camejo was doing in the 60's
70's whenever is really great but from a principaled standpoint it's
clear that the Nader/Camejo ticket is not working or claiming to
represent the interests of the working class first and foremost and
furthermore are not espousing anything even semi-revolutionary.
Nader/Camejo are presenting a counterposition to the two party system?
Big deal. So are alot of other little third parties out there,
including the SWP, Socialist Equality Party why aren't we debating
about their presidential campaigns?
