"There is much more to creating a “party of insurrection” than adopting formal rules and the Leninists trappings, like saying we are guided by democratic centralism.

COMMENT: Building a Bolshevik type party is a subjective thing, based on the reality that a revolutionary working class exists. It can be built at any time during the capitalist / Imperialist menace. The truth is: that there are just "too, three, many parties of a 'new type'" in this here USA, and there always are, everywhere. They all enjoy their cliques and followings: you have the maoist RCP, the one and only anti everyone PLP, you have the Workers World Party, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and an array of Trotskyist groupings mostly dedicated to red baiting and peddling the anti soviet line. You have those circles committed to party building, but who'd know; and then you have the good people of the LRNA with their 'new class' politics. There are plenty of parties and clusters who claim to lead the revolution..... but everybody seems to hate working within the unions and among the broad sectors of the working class mass organizations, they prefer their own tiny clusters where they can assure their influence; they prefer anybody else who's not "white supremacist sell out unions", and some of them tail the petty bourgeois and the bourgeoisie too. So, those who do go among the unions and other mass organizations of the class to organize, get the prize and lead.... tailing the democrats; and then the "vanguard" parties complain that these "sell outs" don't want to unite with them. What's an advanced communist conscious worker to do? Well, we can't give up can we? We do the best we can, while we witness the charade. f580 --- On Tue, 1/25/11, waistli...@aol.com <waistli...@aol.com> wrote: From: waistli...@aol.com <waistli...@aol.com> Subject: Re: [MLL] some thoughts on the CPUSA: a whole assessment of ourrevolutionary...
