[Marxism] In Defense of Harrington and American

[Michael Friedman]

So, essentially, you want to turn the reason for NOT supporting, nor
having illusions in the Democrat Party into a reason for immersing
ourselves in them, were such even possible. Yes, the bourgeois parties,
the so-called "Washington consensus," shifted to the right. All the more
reason NOT to have illusions in our ability to work within and "reform"
those "parties" (either of them).
