[lbo-talk] State of the US Left

[Adam Souzis]

i'd very much like to know when and where are these spaces, this
"political commons" where "long-term conversations can happen
between identity-movements, artists, interested laypeople, union
activists, NGOs and political parties"?

it seem so lovely but as a cynical, alienated american i suspect they
may only exist as a fantasy, so please enlighten me.
