(This appears in the British SWP magazine Socialist Review at:
http://www.socialistreview.org.uk/article.php?articlenumber=8930. It
is similar to an article that appeared on tomdispatch.com a month
ago, but contains critical support of Ralph Nader, something that
was absent in the earlier article.)
<snip>
At this point, only the Nader campaign genuinely offers political
space to demand the US out of Iraq and to contest Washington's
broader interventionist agenda. Only Nader is likely to press the
attack on the corporate puppeteers of both political parties.
At the same time, it would be utopian to expect Nader - an
old-fashioned progressive who has just won the endorsement of the
former Perot voters and Jesse Ventura supporters in the Reform Party
- to offer a coherent critique of the brave new world being
fashioned in the twilight of cheap oil. That's a job description for
socialists.
That's interesting. Was Davis' critical support for Nader edited out
by tomdispatch.com or was it his own decision?
