>>> So, this layer of workers is asking a sophisticated question, a question about "the system", to the communists and socialists "if you guys are so smart what kind of system do you propose and how will it operate generally operate ?", but they do not have a clue as to what the word "communist "means ? That doesn't ring true. First of all , you have been talking to them for a while, so they already have heard of the term communist.<<
Comment You miss the point. The point is “what is the solution.” I will try and write clearer. Other layers of the workers ask the same question. Take health care. “How will universal health care be paid for.” Another layer of the workers do not care how something is paid for and simply want access to socially necessary means of life. ******* >>> When I work with your comrades fighting for water as a human right for low-income Detroiters or stopping the evictions of a bunch of people in an apartment building in Highland Park, with me representing the tenants, or Welfare Rights in general they deal with all kinds of literary petty bourgeois intellectuals. <<< Comment I speak for myself and myself only. I meet all kinds of people as a way of life. My “baby” - choice of work, is literature production with others. Here is an example. Both of us were involved in the last city election. The literature I passed out for that election was non-communist, because the candidate I was supporting is not a communist. However, after the election and during it I was involved in other activity where I could utilize a revolutionary press and Marxists literature. ********** >>> Actually, if you look I didn't say mass _media_. I said just mass work. The monopoly media is very corrupt on these issues. That's part of why Moore's breakthrough in it , saying we need to replace capitalism with democracy, is so extraordinary. <<< Comment Without question Moore’s movie as mass media is extraordinary. Because we were speaking of a movie opening nationwide I took the conversation to be about mass media. I do not do work in the mass media. How one identify themselves and their terminology is personal with political connotations. If you choose to speak in terms of other countries that is fine. All of us are not the same and going to approach things different. My goal is to seek out those individuals interested in revolutionary thought. When I was a young man the writings of Engel’s changed my life. I have a feeling Engel’s will impact this generation of young people the same way. Will be back in Detroit to stay in two weeks.
