[Marxism] Towards a "people's peace party"? WSWS Cindy Sheehan Interview

[Jerry Wells <jeremy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

An interview with antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan
By David Walsh
5 September 2007

"Sheehanâs announcement of her break with the Democrats was greeted with
silence or hostility in liberal left circles."
...
"The two-party system disenfranchises everybody, even people who vote.
They only represent the special interests and not the people. I donât
identify with the Democratic Party, I donât identify with the Republican
Party, I donât identify with the Green Party, so where does that leave
me. Voting for lesser of two evils? No, I like the coalition
governments. I wish the people of America would have the courage to
really explore having different parties. I think having a lot of parties
in this country would be a good thing.

I would like to have a party that I could identify with. Like a peopleâs
peace party, or something like that, which could really have some kind
of say in the political dialogue, in the political discourse, in the
decisions, that would be awesome."
