Well let's see re supporting Dems a) No b) No more than both parties have already demonstrated in the last fifty years. c) what labor movement? The entire pretext for supporting Dems is that there is no labor movement to speak of. d) No Other considerations: a') Does supporting the "left-liberal party" afford a class-based opposition to the policies and practices of the ruling class b') Does supporting the "LL party" provide effective resistance to the expansion of reactionary forces c') is the party connected to the 90% of workers who are not unionized d') What are the prospects for a class-based opposition within the party. Of course none of the answers, or even the questions, matter if "socialism is dead." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
