Comrades!

U.S. Imperialism is in deep crisis, and everywhere the masses are rising to resist the march of Capital. In desperation, the ruling class sends out fake-left apologists to shore up its obscene rule, to wit . . .

The line of the labor chiefs is to support the imperialist Al "Landslide" Gore, and the renegade Carowan is merely blocking with Capital in this bankrupt pursuit. Note also the back-handed support for the revisionist social-imperialist neo-capitalist so-called Peoples Republic of China.

Comrades, in the twilight of capitalism, morbid symptoms like this thread appear. But the peoples' struggle will continue, to replace the capitalist-Democratic Party with a mass movement of the proletariat and peasantry inspired by policy analysis composed by righteous dudes not unlike myself.
