Dan said: "The only problem is that the aim is to "hold out" until 2012, meaning that "voting for socialists" will solve the issues in 2012. A big mistake for the French working class, as such future "heavies" as Dominique Strauss-Kahn, current head of the IMF and future head of the French Socialist Party, ... wants all OCDE states to reduce foreign debt by four GDP points over the coming two years ..." This "hold out" may be what the social democrats would like, but there is much that can happen in two years of established workers' councils meeting regularly and engaging in worker activism. I can only hope these ongoing council meetings take on an ever more political turn and continued organizing. Who knows, perhaps these councils will bring forward new and more militant leaders as a counterforce to the bureaucratic labor officials? ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
