[lbo-talk] Sharpton and Jackson endorse war on terror...

[Carrol Cox]

The CPUSA's basic policies have been unchanged for decades, but in the 
1950s and 1960s their members and many of their "fellow travellers" and 
"fronts" were essential in the rise of left movements and many of the 
events of the '60s. They deserve our honor and respect, whatever our 
disagrements. But now? I guess Doug has it aboaut right.
