Re: [Marxism] Fascism, the so-called 'far right' and the political middle

[Waistline2@xxxxxxx]

Thanks, but allow me to clean up some theory concepts about the  meaning of 
the so-called "far right." and with your help present an edited  version 
perhaps tonight. What the hell is the "far right" in the first place?  The far 
right surfaces as a concept of/in electoral politics, while the  communist 
concept of the political middle is a class presentation of political  
America, which includes how the voting section of the working class  behave.
 
This piece is really muddled but the real purpose was to repeat a  hundred 
times "political middle." It touched on proportional representation  without 
saying what this actually meant.  Each state gets two Senators.  
California, New York, Ohio, and Michigan have roughly 77.3 million people  
totally 8 
Senators. Georgia, North C., Alabama, South C., Louisiana,  Mississippi, 
Arkansas, Utah, Nebraska, South D., North D., Florida and Texas  have a 
combined 
population of 81.9 million and get 26 Senators. Within these  states are 
the Senators representing the "far right" or opposition tot he Obama  
administration. 
 
Voting for Democrats by 77.3 million people cannot change one iota the  
political relations the exists on the basis of the lack of proportional  
representation. A certain group that feels it is appropriate to attack the far  
right should locate their forces in the areas of "the far right" and stop  
playing." 
 
As practical politics isolating the far right means communist should write  
literature and agitate against the "far right Senator" and in support of 
the  Obama administration rather than fighting our way through the political 
middle  educating the workers to the cause of their plight and why we need 
our own  independent economic and political demands. 
 
Further the lesser of two evil theories as reasoning for uniting with  
Democrats rather than fighting for a party of labor demands, under conditions 
of 
 the collapse of the political middle, does not take into account that the 
basis  of the old Roosevelt Coalition has been destroyed by the progression 
of history.  

Where is the middle class of America? Last time I checked it was rapidly  
sinking into the lower section of the proletariat. 
 
Then I did not clarify what it is that Obama is called to do. Telling me  
Obama is called to save the system means one does not have a clue about class 
 relations in America. "It's a class question." 
 
Brother, "Its a class question" means one understands nothing about classes 
 in America.
 
Allow me to clarify some of this. 
 
 
Peace.
 
 
WL.

Melvin, this is very interesting and challenging. I was going to send  
you this set of slight textual alterations/edits and bracketed  
annotations/queries off-list, but I have decided to put it out on-list  
and go ahead and expose my limited understanding of some aspects of this  
essay to the criticism of a few often overly-exacting list members.  
Others may have the same questions that occur to me, and this discussion  
is too important not to be shared. There's insufficient response here to  
what you're offering. Some of my questions early in the piece is  
answered later, and some are there because to some extent I do not share  
in understandings which may have been commonplace in past sectarian  
organizational discussions. So please tolerate my emendations. I am  
interested only in clarity.
