I frequently disagree with Shane, but I think his explanation here is correct and all other explanations are not only false but are serious obstructions to building a mass movement. All the other posts in this list seem to me to be utterly defeatist, in so far as they seem to assume that "left" means getting votes for the reactionary DP. I haven't thrown away a career and spent thousands of hours (and $) over the last 35 years just to moan about how the DP campaigns. Carrol
