Re: [marxmail] Thoughts on the West and Stein campaigns

My short take on this: You would never have had a Republican Party without the earlier efforts at both electoral insurgency--the Liberty Party/National Reformers, and the later Free Democrats, many involved in direct action resistance in Kansas and on the Underground Railroad. We will have no succ
