[lbo-talk] Wisconsin recall results

[Joshua Morey]

Wojtek - While I often disagree with your interpretations and analyses, I
think you often make important observations and present difficult challenges
(such as highlighting, in your own cynical way, the contradictions of
electoral politics - which Bryan and Shane have also discussed with less
piss and vinegar); however, you condemn nearly every strategy anybody tries.
You accuse Carrol of doing nothing while hiding behind principles(?!), but
I'm not sure you are - or ever have been - clear about your strategies for
"progressive organizing" (as you call it).

So what would you do? If you had been in Madison in Feb and March, what
would you have recommended? What kind of resistance would you have worked
with or tried to organize? How would your strategy/tactics have changed
after March 9 when parts of the budget repair bill were passed? Etc.

Or would you let it all ... just ... happen ... passively ... and allow
yourself the sardonic delight of teasing us as we sink?... it seems to me
that such is your preferred strategy. Am I misreading you (entirely
possible)?

I apologize if I seem churlish - my questions are earnest.
