Thanks Lou, it took me right back. Fundamentally pessimistic. There can't be a revolution without the working class, and radical fringe groups can at best open up possibilities; but the working class living under affluent late capitalism can't do it. In his favour is the undoubted fact that in the decades since this interview, the working class certainly hasn't done it. It cut out just as he was about to say what he thought about Eurocommunism, which would have been interestiing.
