[lbo-talk] Contradictions of contemporary working class consciousness

[Carrol Cox]

Carrol: " All serious mass movements, whatever their stated
goals, have only one goal: freedom, and that goal is defined in the process
of seeking it."

Joanna: " Agreed. But wouldn't that be characterized as an anarchist
position?"

Well, I'm not too concerned with labels. But I think this is reasonably
consistent with Luxemburg, the Panthers, Ellen Meiksins Wood, & Tamas. If
that is anarchism, so be it.

P.S. It is seriously worth considering just why the FBI was willing to go to
such extremes to "crimnalize" the Panthers. It wasn't merely racism, though
that probably made it easier. The Breakfast Program scared J. Edgar
shitless.
