Sigh... I feel like I'm playing whack-a-mole. Here we are again with Joe Green misrepresenting/misunderstanding/maliciously lying about/displaying his ignorance of (you all tell me which one) permanent revolution. The point of permanent revolution is to grasp the INTERTWINING of the democratic and socialist revolutions, which MEANS at EVERY STAGE supporting EVERY democratic demand, and NEVER abstaining from a democratic struggle no matter how long it takes to reveal its dialectical connection to the class struggle. And in practice EVERY MENA Trotskyist group in the revolutionary socialist tradition has done exactly that. ALL the groups which have issued joint statements, contributed to al-Manshour and Permanent Revolution journal etc., have theorized and acted in a way that bears NO relationship to Green's malicious caricature. Keep on trying to derail the class struggle, Joe, it won't work. _________________________________________________________ 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
