Re: [Marxism] Bescancenot: A one day strike is not enough

[Greg Dunkel <gdunkel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I read the original and feel that the translation adequately reflects what was 
there.  Nothing
was truncated.

There are other statements from the NPA that go into the issue with a little 
more depth
but Bescancenot caught the gist of them.

It should be pointed out that when 3 million + workers out of a total 
population of 61 million
have been mobilized into the streets, a substantial & deep mobilization has 
taken place.
