Why does our working class behaves the way it does? What is the prospect for political revolution? What does revolution in the mode of production means for us in real time.? Why is it possible to win some concessions something, but nothing at other times? What is the meaning of reform? Why has no industrially advance country gone into political revolution? What does social relations of production mean? What does it mean for us? What is class in theory and for us in reality? Can socialism - meaning changes in the property relations, be won incrementally? How does one determine what is a winnable fight? What determines a winnable reform or concession? On and off I have thought about questions like these for 40 years. Only in the last 15 years has American history begun to make sense to me. Communists fight better and harder when things makes sense or when they can gain more clarity into history and events. Marx and Engels are fine. Lenin and Mao are cool and Stalin logic contains its own rationale. None of them can help us at the end of the day. At the end of the day one has to sift through their own history. WL.
