Re: [Marxism] Luizianne Lins of Brazil

This is just name-calling. You don't say what Gerry and SA's
program is, nor why it is inadequate. Having just come back from
SA's convention, and hearing Gerry on this firsthand, as well
as comrades who've been to Venezuela and are applying the good
old Joe Hansen method to that revolution and to Cuba's (i.e.
supporting those revolutions wholeheartedly whatever our differences),
I'd say we (in SA) know precisely what went wrong in Brazil and
have good advice on what a revolutionary organization should do.
And that advice mirrors what you end up with, Louis: a closer
emulation of Cuba and Venezuela.

 Now it is true that a new left party needs to be constructed in Brazil, but
these people are simply not equipped politically to carry out the task.
Foley is correct that they adapt to Lula, but his own sectarian approach is
not what is needed either. I wouldn't dream of offering advice to the
Brazilian left myself, but would modestly propose that a study of the Cuban
revolution and what is currently transpiring in Venezuela would be a good
place to start.
