[Marxism] An analysis of the DP convention that works better

[S. Artesian]

The question as originally put by Marvin was directed to "leftists" 
regarding "reaching" the "masses," as they, the "masses" will look to the 
Democratic party for leadership, solutions, etc. in their own movement left.

The discussion included the discussion of the fact that the "dramatic" 
movements of the 20th century originated outside that party, and when 
"moving" into it, which certainly does not mean that the rank and file of 
that movement participated in any way shape or form in the forming of 
program and policy of that party, the movement was debilitated.

Also an explicit/implicit part of the question that was put to Marxists as 
to why/how does the Democratic party differ from the social-democratic 
parties of Europe.
