>Sad, really pathetic.
Guess Mr. Implicit here should have made himself clearer. What I was scorning as pathetic was the Wobbly hallucinating that we were in a ideological climate where the socialist/communist/anarchist left was in the ascendency as it was when, for example, the Minneapolis Dunne Bros' Trots of the SWP in '34 were able to pull off a General Strike or when the burgeoning ILWU spearheaded one in S.F.
Funny how list leninoids (who in contrast to a real strength of Comrade Ulyanov had a superb grasp of the real balance of class and ideological forces on the terrain), CC and YF, who have made a show in the past of not reading revisionist running dog MP, will cut and paste a comment w/o attribution, which the majority of the list always makes a habit of doing as in >Nathan Newman said...
I am in agreement with previous posters like Dwayne who support the goals of the march but fear a PR disaster when far, far from a million show up, composed mainly of the small ranks of groups like the mileau around Labor Notes and the couple of thousand of explicit socialists active in the labor movement, whether in organized sects or independent of such attachments though very likely to have histories in the past as cadre like a fellow I know, Don Bechler, who was SWP for decades now an organizer for Health Care For All. http://www.healthcareforall.org/san_fran.html
Don is quite a character. Lived w/ James Cannon, of the founding generation of US Trotskyism. During Operation Mop-Up of the LaRoucheites he was on the security detail to protect from further assault from the goon squad.
