<div>Irrelevancy being something of which you have professional, intimate familiarity with, I am inclined to take your predictions of it seriously.<br> </div>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Those leftists committed as a matter of principle to engagement in<br>presidential politics must, of course, hold dogmatically to the
<br>existence of substantial diffrences within the capitalist class. For<br>example, LRS, after its more or less triumphant participation in the<br>Jackson campaign in '88 spent its closing days looking for other<br>candidates to support -- thus leading to the argument advanced by
<br>Chicago comrades that Daley represented the "progressive" wing of the<br>bourgeosie. Determination to take a position in major-party electoral<br>politics is a long slippery slope into irrrelevancy. </blockquote>
