I remember when Sam's book first came out, Solidarity sponsored a panel on the book with him and Dave Finkel, editor of Against the Current. I assumed, as they both came out of the same Shachtmanite tradition broadly speaking, that they'd be on the same wavelength. In fact the most memorable part of the event for me was when Dave said quite firmly, in response to Farber's criticism of Bolshevik measures, that they had no choice in the face of intervention, starvation, destruction of the economy and decimation of the working class. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
