[Marxism] The Victory of Nichi Vendola

[Yoshie Furuhashi <furuhashi.1@xxxxxxx>]

"The Victory of Nichi Vendola" (An openly gay candidate of Partito
della Rifondazione Comunista wins in southern Italy, in regional
elections that resulted in 11 victories for the center-left
coalition, which now controls 16 of Italy's 20 regions.  Nichi
Vendola's victory decisively refutes the American dogma that
militants on the left, choosing radicals, can't attract votes at the
center and lose to the right -- the dogma that the Democrats in
America and the center-left in Italy promulgate, even though it has
been often contradicted, as in the moderate John Kerry's loss -- as
Vendola won 100,000 more votes than the center-left coalition):
