[lbo-talk] Ehrenstein on Obama

[B.]

Chalk it up to an unrealistic pipe dream, but how
about getting rid of the folks elected into the
congress of representatives of the owning class, and
trying to build an alternate system of delegates,
recallable stewards, etc., that represent community
and working class interests, federated across
geographic space, that would undermine and -- if
necessary -- directly confront the overgrown,
grotesquely bloated social club of professional state
managers that continue to inflict nothing but misery
and death upon us domestically but also onto others
across the world?

You know, the old solution that still seems pretty
sensisble to me today, but for which everyone else is
waiting for someone else to lead the way for them,
like Moses or Eugene Debs or something.

Let's do it! If "lead the way" is your gut response to
this, then you don't get it.
