Re: [Marxism] George Galloway Refutes Fresh Allegations(BBCNewsReport)

Point taken, and no probs ;)

I'm not sure what 'supporting' the people you mention could possibly entail,
but I am in general agreement with much of their views ;)

As for them being 'the tip of the spear directed at the ruling class'- not
on your nellie. The force of criticism can never replace the criticism of
force.

I don't think that the anti war movement in Britain and America and their
constituent parts is one of the fault lines out of which revolutionary
impetus will erupt. As always, it is only those groups with nothing to lose
but their chains that will be in the forefront of revolutionary struggle in
US/UK and elsewhere; the strength of their efforts will be constrained by
the buoyancy of the economy, and particularly funding for the State (police
and public services)- as ever.

In the end, it will all come down to civil war in the West and world war. :(

PS I never offered *any* blueprints- and good luck to the professional
dissidents Moore and Galloway. Its nice work if you can get it.

J WROTE:

apologies if i offended you. i just find it irritating to come across views
which suggest a belief in marxism as a rigid blueprint for action rather
than an understanding of the class struggle as a process. i have differences
with galloway, many in fact, but i think it irrefutable that at this point
in history, a period of low consciousness generally, he and other like him -
cindy sheehan, tommy sheridan, even for a period michal moore - constitute
the tip of the spear directed at the ruling class and their prerogatives and
for that reason we should support them.

that is all.
