[Marxism] The shifting ruling class mainstream

[Paddy Apling]

Seen from the UK,  Joaquin has made his usual succint and very useful 
appraisal of what can be expected from Obama and how the American left 
should deal with it - not any constant snioing and gloomy predictionsm but a 
piecemeal campaigning on particular issues.

Excellent.
