[Marxism] Evo or Bush (was: RE: Sh*flyinginupcomingBolivianelections)

[S. Artesian]

Previous post on my responsible position:


"Well, as a charter member of the whining ultra-leftists club, let me state,
that tactically, it makes no sense at this time to "threaten"  a workers'
takeover simply because the mechanisms for that takeover are not in place.

Actually it's never sensible to threaten a takeover, although it certainly
makes sense to take over.

So we would have to ask the COB; what organizations are there in place to
actually take, and defend power?  To seize and operate the economy?  To
conduct all the "business" of state that a workers' state must conduct--
first and foremost suppressing the reaction?

If those organizations don't exist, then the task is to develop a program
that will require and enable the workers to act not only on their own behalf
but as a class on behalf of all the poor of society.

Morales does not offer such a program, and if the COB can't answer those
above questions, it doesn't offer one either."
