The same could be said of the Greens, except that primary campaign would be irrelevant.
But what is the Democratic Party? Certainly it's largely neoliberal, bourgeois to say the least-- perhaps the world's second most enthusiastic major capitalist party. But is there not open primaries? Can a party without dues and with open primaries even be called a party? Such an electoral campaign would be important logical step at some point. An open, democratic, Marxist organization is obviously the more important and immediate task. Not that creating a viable party of opposition is *likely* to work, but I don't see how it's *possible* through the tactics that have been dominate on the American left. Louis Proyect: Anybody who runs as a Democrat is unlikely to have "openly Marxist" views. ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
