Re: [Marxism] John Pilger: Beware Of Obama's Groundhog Day

["S. Artesian" <sartesian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The practical issue is that one party, WL, offers nothing but "tailism," 
accompanied by statements  that those that don't want to be walked by his 
dog are "howling" for an "electronic lynch mob."

The practical issue is that one party  believes illusion and sentiment are 
actual signs of "progress."

The practical issue is that one party sees an actual social movement around 
Obama and not the need for the bourgeoisie to pre-empt the possibility of 
such a movement.

If one party would put down his pom-poms, and quite flogging that Democratic 
ass of his, and his own, we might be able to move onto other issues.

Of course the debate is ridiculous.  We are supposed to be Marxists, we are 
supposed to know better than this; and certainly there are less ridiculous 
things than arguing with those wannabee Kautskys, looking for another 2nd 
International to call home.
