VVAW - The Split

[Michael Pugliese]

>..."We need to build an organization for the revolution, be the vangaurd,
and all that other crap. Continue the fight against the capitalistic power
structure and embrace a Marxist- Leninist analysis for a people's
revolution, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!! This sort of thinking really gave
most of the members in VVAW a headache, and many left in disgust. This type
of thought train was coming from VVAW members and non-veterans working in
the organization who had adopted that Marxist analysis. The one thing to
remember is that these people were coming into VVAW to push their special
agenda. They were not there to stop the war, they were there to advance
their political thought. Everything from the
R.U.(Revolutionary Union),R.S.B (Revolutionary Student Brigade),Venceremos,
October League, S.W.P.(Sociallist Workers' Party), CPUSA (Communist Party
United States of America) and last but not least, the one, the only,the RCP
(Revolutionary Communist Party).
