Just a note to clear up some confusion. Marv writes: At the most basic level, I would like to know why Carrol and Jan, who were active in the LRS which strongly influenced the Jackson campaign, were unable despite their best efforts to disabuse a single LRS member - not one member! - of their “illusionary” and “idiotic” hopes of pushing the DP to the left? And, in light of this, why continue to insistently sell an evidently failed strategy then as a winning one today?
------- I must not have been clear. At the time we agreed with the LRS strategy, so we didn't try to disabuse anyone of it. What we failed to do was attract anyone to the LRS. There simply wasn't any discussion of politics among those who joined us in the Jackson Campaign. I am predicting that the same thing will happen in the Sanders campaign: no one in it will be recruited to any left organization, but some leftists from those organizations will exhaust themselves in the effort and quit.
