[lbo-talk] Revolutionary Movements & Parties

[c b]

"Revolutionary" parties _can_, of course, play the same role. I have
suggested that the Party we need will be much like the SPD of Kautsky,
Luxemburg, Bernstein, et al. That was a revolutionary party, but it
also was a place for the likes of Bernstein. Probably, as I've
suggested before (following an argument of Andre Gorz) that a mass
working-class movement has to achieve most of its goals within about a
5-year framework, and then (for reasons Charles Post has outlined)
tends to subside.

CB: Ok , however, the German SPD did not achieve revolutionary goals,
so why is it an example of a "revolutionary" party ?
