[Marxism] Evo Morales and Hugo Chavez arrive in Cuba and how our epigones react...

[dwalters@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Adam suggests:
"It seems that while the American left is still wringing its hands over
whether Evo is a "comrade" or not, the Cubans don't seem to have much
question."

What are you, 12 years old? What is this "American Left"...this amorphus totally
undefined straw-man you throw up here Adam? It seems that the "Amercian Left" is
totally smitten with Morales with but a few exceptions in small groups. What I
suggest Adam, is that you do a cursory look through the web sites of the *Latin
American* left. You will find it far less smitten, far more critical, both in
the constructive sense and the polemical sense, in other words, in the
*serious* sense.

Fidel and Evo and others might hug anti-working class Lula (or Kirshner or whom
ever), backslapping and high-fiving him. The refer to Lula as a "comrade",
also. So, do you, representing the "American Left" act like band-wagon epigones
and follow suit? No doubt you do. Instead of letting heads of state decide your
politics for you, why don't you decide for yourself based on the what's going
on in the class struggle.
