Does anyone know of _any_ precedent in all of modern history in which a Union leadership linked to reactionary military & business interests, has "over time" (i.e., gradually and legally) take over control -- and do so, incidentally, by first rejecting the support of the most popular leader in the nation? This is perhaps the most bizarre statement that has ever been made on lbo-talk. Nathan is inviting democratic local leaders in the CTV to commit suicide.
The Sparticists will elect a president and 50 governors in the U.S. before Nathan's pipedream could be realized.
It boggles the mind.
