Yeah, but shouldn't Communists, of all people, be pointing out that the Democrats are the ones who really legitimate this anti-working-class, anti-democratic agenda? It doesn't surprise anyone that right-wing Republicans are a bunch of pigs; it still surprises some people that centrist Democrats are. What good is a Marxist formation that doesn't make this fundamental point? What would Old Whiskers say?
