The period of the 60's involved huge intersecting layers of interest between the bourgeoisie and the working class via the Negro Peoples struggle. This struggle did reform the system. Today there are no reforms left in the capital relations. Meaning we are more than less on our own; without the huge financial network provided by various capital and middle class interest in the 1960. I believe we are in a period of history where everyone discovers the difference between winning reform of the system and concessions.
The ballot box socialist believes that reform of the system is possible, and an accumulation of reforms = revolution. Reform is defined as concessions. The last great reform was the destruction of Jim Crow. That was the reform. The concessions buttressing the reform was in legislation like the Voting Rights Act, Fair Housing, expansion of Social Security etc., The reform realigned the relations between and within classes. The concessions further implemented goals needed to stabilize the reform. One thing for sure, Obama is not on the "left." Not one single reform shall we receive. Nada. The concept of the "left" needs to be filled with a new content. WL. **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
