The Black Commentator's Glen Ford in an interview I recorded yesterday for broadcast on tomorrow's radio show (quoted from memory, but pretty close): "The Republican party isn't just a corporate party. It has a base in the racist South."
And not just that... It seems that one of the things that divides those derisively referred to as ABBs from those derisively referred to as the "not a dime's worth of difference crew" is the evaluation of the Republican party - and the American right generally: the former (which includes a serious majority of the black population) see them as a serious and unique danger, more frightening than the ordinary bourgeoisie, while the latter see them as just another branch of business as usual.
In focusing on the rightward drift of the Dems, the no difference party shows little interest in the toxicty of the Republicans and the right. But they're a major influence in pushing things right. So if you don't think that voting for Kerry will contribute to fighting the right (as every issue of the PWW puts it), how do you go about it? Or is that not the major struggle?
