I consider Charlie Post a comrade and friend, but I disagree completely with
him on these questions. Though I think it should be said that one of the
most sophisticated and intelligent versions of what I might call the
"subjectivist" explanation for the decline of the US working class movement
is that put forward by Charlie and others associated with the Solidarity
"rank and file" strategy in the unions. That because it does not rely on a
deus-ex-machina "vanguard party" nor the magical ritual incantations of a
"correct program" for effect. And when a reconstitution of a working class
movement in this country takes place, I think it is likely to develop to a
significant degree through the way these comrades anticipate -- the
emergence and coming together of a more conscious/advanced layer of union
militants. However, I find the explanation of WHY this hasn't happened
offered by these comrades unsatisfactory.
