[Bill Quimby]

I think that what we read here is the draft of a rather memorable (for bourgeois
democracy) acceptance or inaugural speech. It will be interesting to see if
he develops some of these anti-corporate threads as he goes along, or drops
them in face of the inevitable criticism to come - just as he dropped Wright.

I think it encouraging that though he doesn't yet quite get it (a future
"renegade" Kautsky to be destroyed by a future Lenin) he may become one
of the most outstanding Liberal (the capital L is important here) politicians
of our time.
