CounterPunch hits home...

[Max Sawicky]

. . . Why
the-left-such-as-it-is insists otherwise is an interesting question, but
personally I'm convinced the search for grassroots authenticity is a
dead end, at least for labor.

Any thoughts?

Just a few.  The left has a romantic notion of decentralization
or autonomous action.  It (some of it, obviously) would like to
blame bureaucrats for its own failure to reach the rank-and-file,
and ignore the extent to which bureaucrats really do reflect the
conservative views of the rank-and-file.

But this is really a question for Herr Doctor Eisenscher,
if he's around.
