I think Bonnie Weinstein's passion for socialism would
be great inside the Green Party. Socialist Viewpoint
is repeating the mistakes of the SWP, and of Socialist
Action, in relation to electoral politics. Who leads
the Greens, and wherer they lead them, depends upon
who is in the Greens...
It is a political structure of capitalist society,
grudgingly allowed by the capitalist class to allow
voters to vent steam.... just like protest
demonstrations that you love so much. It is not more
revolutionary, nor less reformist.
It is an avenue to mobilize the most advanced of the
masses - the beer drinking, dope smoking, football
fan, not-very-Marxist, masses into struggle. It is the
avenue more of them will take as their first step in
fighting back.
Why do you want to just let the jerks of the
Demo-Greens lead them by default?
Why don't you fight to lead them?
I'm talking to you, Bonnie.
All the best, Anthony
PS: The Green's are SPECTACULARLY
