Dear Organizers Activists:
Let's organize a campaign (letters, petitions, sit-ins,
demonstrations, etc.) to bring soldiers home now -- before Washington

Soldiers want to go home, their families and friends want them home,

Religious justification for political action in terms of God's will is, in
my opinion, the last resort of a scoundrel, who is unable to honestly
specify any reasonable relationship between political means and ends, as an

English history. . . . Btw, the Great Charter is
called Magna Carta, not The Magna Carte; it doesn't

point, but English constitutional (and popular)
history is a bit of a hobby. Please note
Does anyone think that program is divorced from analysis of the driving
forces of revolution? Does anyone think the analysis of permanent revolution
somehow ends with the seizure of power and then needs to be retired in favor of
what? Socialism in one country?

Sociologically, the proletarian credentials of Trotsky and Stalin were
zero, except that you can say than in some respects, their lifestyle was
proletarian for a while. But I would not exaggerate that either. To

The Howard Dean phenomenon in the USA just mirrors the Pim Fortuyn saga in
the Netherlands. The official bourgeois parties no longer do anything much
to improve the lot of the people, their themes no longer appeal, and they

whatever one says about Howard Dean, he does not seem like Pym Fortuyn at all. If
anything, he's a bit like George McGovern (but not very). The news reports that Dean

Dean is a lot like Clinton, programmatically speaking.
I see little trace of pro-working class politics, with

great improvement over Bush, but that's a low standard.
