Saying that, the anti-war movement has not been a non-factor. It has been the only factor in the fight back,. The fact that it hasn't had the juice to stop the war has nothing to do with ANSWER and everything to do with the collapse of the Democrats as an opposition party and of labor as an anti-corporate force. We should only be so lucky that the main contradiction facing the left is the baleful influence of retardo-Stalinists.    </div> <div> </div> <div>Mike Hirsch<br><br><br> </div> <div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/21/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Chuck0</b> <<a href="mailto:chuck@mutualaid.org">chuck@mutualaid.org</a>> wrote:</span> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Michael Hirsch wrote:<br>> Chuck:<br>><br>> WWP cadre vacation in North Korea?
