[Marxism] Mandel, Lambert, Percy,Proyect,Camejo et al...

[David Walsh <davidrail68@xxxxxxxxx>]

The problem with the approaches of all the above in there frantic race to avoid 
being "sectarian" is that they all share the idea that we must re-create at 
least the First International on the lowest common denominator.
This has failed for all of them for many years. It's not just "The dreaded 
Trots" that hold to outlived schemas.
Most want to found broad networks, fronts, parties or whatever based on reform 
politics as a way forward or try to copy the Brazilian Workers Party or the 
Nicaraguan FSLN. All these roads lead nowhere. Look at the results. After all 
these years we can draw a balance sheet.
As the class struggle heats up and we all agree it will then policies will be 
tested in life and solid regroupments similar to what we saw in the Workers 
Party in the 30's. will be on the agenda. And the Cannon led Communist League 
was able to begin a process, maybe imperfect, to build a revolutionary 
alternative to the Social-Dems and CP. Were there any alternatives? No one ever 
point to one.
Most on this list agree on the need for an authentic marxism. We must be open 
to the forms that rebuilding takes and not substitute schemas for what we 
cannot just predict will transpire organizationally.

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of
