Re: [Marxism] Jonathan Schell on the DP's prowar stance

Louis P. writes: >One of the main goals of the Democratic Party over the past year or so, besides ousting Bush so as to provide sinecures in Washington for their own loyalists, has been to disarm the antiwar movement. By creating fake
antiwar outfits like Moveon.org, ... it has forced politics to the center.>

did the DP create Moveon.org? my impression is that its leaders created it and then moved into the DP orbit on their own. 

Also, it should be stressed that winner-take-all elections with a two-party system create a structural bias that forces all participants to the center. It's not just the cynical manipulation by the DP politburo.
