I recently joined DSA.  We do not need a "French Turn"  That was a sectarian 
destructive tactic that resulted in

only harming any needed effort for a large united left. This is an example of 
bad education promoted in the US SWP

to justify their wrong approach that we often see being done by other more 
recent groups such as the U. S. Sparticist League.

They oppose all other independent actions and movements - and counterpose their 
group as the only real choice. They remind

me of religious fanatics and not caring about our class but looking down with 
arrogance against all "not as aware as them".


Leon Trotsky was wrong in advocating a split, as he was on some other things, 
such as how he handled the awful murderous Stalin.

How did the workers in France, the United States or elsewhere benefit with 
these weakened social democrat groups facing the fascists?

Placing "the party" over the interests of the working class, is just bad 
politics for some ego insecurity to show "superiority" and being

so "smart" over working and building an effective left. Being isolated, "pure" 
and correct, is not what is needed.


After decades of "party building" since the failed 1970's - can we not learn 
that what must be done - is to build and educate - and

not just be arrogant and religious in approach - to show how knowledgeable we 
are.  You can stay in your little isolated and ineffective

vanguard parties that repeat the same mistakes, or learn we need a very 
different and better model and how to be effective for our

class and not just personal ego needs.


Help build a broad united effective left - and help share your knowledge and 
join with new and old comrades to create a better DSA.

To not be effective and isolated only benefits our class enemies.  Helping our 
class helps each other, whatever tactical differences that

we have.  We just do not have the time to wait for something better.  The 
capitalists and other fascist elements are not waiting but

carrying out exploitation and harm to our planet and all life on it.

The criticism of the politics of the DSA is on point.

That said, the organization is very much alive and growing beyond expectation.

French Turn?

Blanc digs into historical minutiae like the slogan for a democratic

candidates running in the DP (and Republican, I believe) primaries 
without connecting them to the present-day. No wonder Jacobin runs the

was serious about the relevance of this, he'd connect it to the DSA's 
neo-Fabian politics. Or, for that matter, he'd answer my question about 
if the fucking "democratic dictatorship of the proletariat and the 
peasantry" was so superior to Trotsky's permanent revolution, why did it 
lead to such a disaster in China in 1927?

[Marxism] Fwd: How Dollar General Became Rural America's Store of Choice

While many large retailers are closing locations, Dollar General 
executives said they planned to build thousands more stores, mostly in 
small communities that have otherwise shown few signs of the U.S. 
economic recovery.


The more the rural U.S. struggles, company officials said, the more 
places Dollar General has found to prosper. "The economy is continuing 
to create more of our core customer," Chief Executive Todd Vasos said in 
an interview at the company's Goodlettsville, Tenn., headquarters.


"We are putting stores today [in areas] that perhaps five years ago were 
just on the cusp of probably not being our demographic," he said, "and 
it has now turned to being our demographic."


Dollar General's target shoppers come from households earning $40,000 or 
less. Its primary competitor, Dollar Tree Inc., has more suburban 
locations and sells all items for $1, including unbranded knickknacks 
that attract shoppers browsing for fun. In 2015, Dollar Tree bought 
another competing low-price chain, Family Dollar Stores Inc. which has 
more urban locations.


This lower-end market is better protected from Amazon and competitors 
that target wealthier shoppers, company executives and analysts said.


Dollar General's typical shopper "doesn't look at her pantry or her 
refrigerator and say, 'You know, I'm going to be out of ketchup in the 
next few days. I'm going to order a few bottles,'" said Mr. Vasos, the 
company's chief executive. "The core customer uses the last bit of 
ketchup at the table the night prior, and either on her way to work or 
on her way home picks up one bottle."

Eric Blank goes "Dirty Break" on the Democrats using the Minn. Farmer-Labor
Party as an example...
 Or does he?

The Ballot and the Break
By Eric Blanc 

Minnesota’s Farmer-Labor Party, the most successful labor party in US
history, is rich in lessons for challenging the two-party system.

The oldest political dispute inside the US left isn’t going away anytime
soon. Revelations

about the Democratic National Committee’s pro–Hillary Clinton
intrigues and local
victories

for leftists in the November elections have added fuel to the fire of that
age-old question: how should socialists confront the two-party system?

On one side, supporters of “realigning” the Democratic Party insist that
given the constraints of the US political system, transforming the party is
the sole viable strategy for progressive politics. On the other side,
advocates of a clean break from the Democrats and Republicans see any
involvement within capitalist parties as an unprincipled dead end.

Proponents of each stance can rightly point to the practical failures of
their rivals’ approaches over the past century, especially at the national
level. But both sides have ignored the example of the most electorally
successful workers’ party in the history of the United States — the
Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party (FLP).

He said many Japanese Canadians were prepared to accept being sent to 
internment camps during the war, but losing everything was not expected. The 
federal government promised to keep the homes and businesses for internees, but 
the policy changed during the war and the properties were sold.

NY Review of Books, DECEMBER 21, 2017 ISSUE
Street Fighting Woman
by Eric Foner

Goddess of Anarchy: The Life and Times of Lucy Parsons, American Radical
by Jacqueline Jones
Basic Books, 464 pp., $32.00

With its economic instability, mass immigration, corrupting influence of 
money on politics, and ever-increasing gap between the rich and everyone 
else, our current era bears more than a slight resemblance to the late 
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, dubbed by Mark Twain the 
Gilded Age. There are also striking differences. Back then, 
larger-than-life radical organizers—Eugene V. Debs, Emma Goldman, Bill 
Haywood, and others—traversed the country, calling on the working class 
to rise up against its oppressors. Today’s critics of the capitalist 
order such as Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren seem tame by comparison.


In her time, Lucy Parsons was as celebrated a radical orator as Debs and 
the others. Born a slave in Virginia in 1851, she lived into the 1940s, 
witnessing vast transformations in the American economic and political 
order but also the persistent exploitation of American workers. She 
became a prolific writer and speaker on behalf of anarchism, free 
speech, and labor organization. But she has been largely forgotten, or 
treated as an afterthought compared with her husband, Albert, an 
anarchist executed after Chicago’s Haymarket bombing of 1886. Thanks to 
Goddess of Anarchy, Jacqueline Jones’s new biography, readers finally 
have a penetrating account of Parsons’s long, remarkable life.


One of the most influential historians of her generation, Jones is the 
author of books that sweep across centuries. Her previous works include 
a pioneering history of black women’s labor in America, a study of the 
evolution of the underclass, an account of four centuries of black and 
white labor, and a history of “the myth of race” from the colonial era 
to the present. Again and again, Jones returns to the complex 
connections between racial and class inequality in American history.


Jones makes clear that Lucy Parsons deserves attention apart from her 
martyred husband. Originally named Lucia, she was removed with other 
slaves to Texas by her owner (probably also her father, Jones believes) 
during the Civil War to prevent them from seeking refuge with the Union 
army. Educated after becoming free at a school established by a northern 
teacher, she fell in love with Albert Parsons, the descendant of early 
New England settlers, whose father had moved to Alabama in the 1830s. 
(Parsons had fought on the Confederate side and managed to survive four 
years of bloody fighting.) During Reconstruction, when Congress rewrote 
laws and the Constitution to grant legal and political equality to the 
emancipated slaves, Parsons embraced these radical changes. He moved to 
Texas, where his brother ran a newspaper, and became one of the few 
white leaders of the state’s predominantly black Republican Party. (Most 
of the other white members in Texas were German immigrants who had 
remained loyal to the Union and suffered severe reprisals under the 
Confederacy.)


Parsons worked as a journalist, political operative, and officer of the 
state militia as it sought to put down violence against blacks. He 
emerged as a spellbinding speaker, addressing crowds of up to a thousand 
freedpeople. Reconstruction was a violent time, and nowhere as violent 
as in Texas, where armed bands committed many atrocities against former 
slaves and their allies. The life of a Republican leader was hardly 
secure, and became even more dangerous when Albert and Lucia wed in 
1872—interracial marriages were frowned upon, to say the least, by white 
Texans. Albert was assaulted, shot at, and threatened with lynching.


Soon after white supremacist Democrats regained control of the state 
government in 1873, the couple left for Chicago. En route, in good 
American fashion, Lucia reinvented herself. She changed her name to Lucy 
and henceforth described her ancestry as Mexican and Indian (although on 
the birth certificate of her son, born in 1879, she identified his race 
as Negro). Passing for white has always been an option for light-skinned 
blacks. Lucy’s complexion made this impossible; she did, however, try to 
shed the stigma of slave origins. She and her husband never set foot in 
Texas again.


Chicago in the 1870s was home to a militant labor movement and the site 
of bread riots and mass strikes. Albert Parsons joined the small 
Socialistic Labor Party and picked up where he had left off as a public 
speaker, quickly making the transition from denouncing the southern 
planter class to

Social scientists have explained the turn to neoliberal capitalism by looking 
not only to the economic classes seeking this new form of capitalism but also 
to the ideologies these groups use both to envision this new form and to 
convince others of its necessity and desirability. Given the economic nature of 
neoliberal ideology, economists have been given primary place as the creators 
and often as the propagators of neoliberal ideology. Some social scientists 
have argued that right-  wing econo-mists such as Milton Friedman and Friedrich 
von Hayek successfully mobilized right-  wing think tanks, associations, and 
economics departments and converted policy makers to their free- market 
worldview. Others have argued that mainstream economists more generally have, 
intentionally or unintentionally, spread neoliberal policies through their 
professional neoclassical economics, which acts as a kind of neoliberal 
capitalist Trojan horse. Another set of works shows that economists with U.S. 
neoclassical training have gained powerful positions in international 
nancial institutions, such as the World Bank and the IMF, which impose 
neoliberal ideas on countries around the globe and support the formation of 
neoliberal advocates world- wide.However, scholars have not adequately 
understood mainstream economists’ professional ideas. Mainstream economics has 
a much more tenuous connection not only to neoliberalism, but even to 
capitalism, than is generally thought.
