[Marxism] A Retort on the Left and Elections

[Michael Friedman]

Actually, I find Longaniza's comments to be utterly hypocritical. On
the one hand, the more leftist than thou rhetoric. On the other, the
shameless shilling for democrats. The icing on the cake of political
puerility was the threat of violence. We always used to point out that
ultraleftism is the flip side of the coin of reformism. Threats of
violence within the movement show a fundamental lack of confidence in
our -- and working people's generally -- ability to resolve political
and differences, well, politically. Longaniza embodies it all!
