[lbo-talk] yakking about the right

[Carrol Cox]

My initial post did not concern how opposed or similar the two parties are.
It concerned the need for active participation in mass organization groups
at the local level and the impact of the DP on that need. That's what makes
the DP _the_ enemy of leftist hopes -- and makes rightists a trivial matter.
When leftists focus on the right they are damaging their own cause. Having
cat fits about libertarians also confuses leftist thought and practice.

P.S. I fucked up a fwd to lbo yesterday by not checking its length. It's a
document Jim D posted on pen-l which deals, from an essentially liberal
perspective, with the rise of the national security state, and it contains a
heavy criticism of Obama's War on Terror. I'll try to get around to
splitting it into shorter posts. It's importance is that it dramatizes the
serious need for a radical non-electoral movement NOW. And thereby further
trivializes hysteria about rightists.
