[lbo-talk] Doodling on Punctuated Equilibrium [Fwd: Re:...

[Mike Ballard]

The people who share our principles are out there, and
reaching them around programs in which they can
actively participate (as opposed to the passivity of
voting out of desperation for someone whose principles
they oppose) is the task of leftists today. That task
is furthered both by the MWM and the Nader campaign;
it is frustrated by the despairing surrender of so
many leftists to the ABB.

Who is surrendering?

The class struggle is like a boxing match.  Right now,
our class is not mounting much of an offense, so we go
into the ring with our guards up.  To put our chin out
and attempt an attack in this weak position is to risk
a knock-out.  

We can deal with our opponent better when we have the
class conscious resolve to do so.  Until then, we're
fighting a defensive battle.  That's what this
election is about.  It's not about throwing the fight.

 It's about staying in the fight for the next round.

Regards,
