Re: [Marxism] Yesterday's protest

[Jon Flanders <jonflanders@xxxxxxxxx>]

There was no sentiments among the participants I bussed down with that
the day was "a flop." 

It doesn't sound like Thorstad was there. Or in any of the other cities
that held actions.

To expect that the masses early on in the Obama administration  will be
free of illusions about his intentions, any more than to expect that
even the "left" Democrats will go against Obama, is just silly.

Hats off to the Answer and National Assembly organizers who put this
successful protest together.

I think it augurs well for the future.
