There are two really quite different quetions here being discussed as though they were one. Question 1: Would a left organized by a single hegemonic party be better/ Question 2: Will there ever be a single hegemonic party? That is, does Question 1 make any sense. Question 1 doesNOT make any sense. There simply will not be such a Party, no matter how many leftists think there should be. It is a uttyer waste of time and intellect to argue over whether a Single Party is desirable. One might as well argue over whether a candy mountain in one's backyard is desirable. It is a non-question. Multiple centers is like climate and terrain. It is there! Our problem is not whether it is desirable or not but how to develop our practice to fit this social fact. In stead of endlessly moaning the absence of what will never be leftists need to focus on the reality of multiple organizations (most of them not parties) and work out ways of dealing with that reality.
