Re: Letter to a comrade overcome by pessimism
One thing I'm kicking around is taking up the obsession with 'conspiracy', which leads to assigning every act to cia puppetry, lending our enemies omnipotence. This is the road to despair and idealism. Sure the bosses got their hands in a whole lot of shit,history screams this, but everything, ever...

Re: Letter to a comrade overcome by pessimism
As I recall the discussion of party with Nikos centered on entryism/CPUSA. I think that post a good general admonishment, not a specific call to action. The various half-hearted half-starts we've seen in the last few years stand as evidence that you are correct in that 'we ain't there yet'. Yet tho...

Re: Letter to a comrade overcome by pessimism
We're going to come together based on shared goals, common work+struggle, joint projects, tightly synchronized analysis and every other form of fraternal comradely relationships and collaborations (and, more obviously by the day, the wheels are in motion).

This is written by the CPGB -- they already have a party. So..they wanna build another one? 2. Conflating "doing communist work" wit...

Re: Donald Trump, Avatar of his Class, Capitalism & the Decline and Fall of Bourgeois Democracy
bourgeois democracy is rapidly falling into disarray, ya wonder how much more his peers gonna put up with. His peers have no more idea what to do than their Moron-in-Chief does. They don't necessarily want Trump (at least not the persona) but..the old axis of power is crumbling. In Trump they/we se...

Re: Donald Trump, Avatar of his Class, Capitalism & the Decline and Fall of Bourgeois Democracy
Big question is whether he 'goes there' and tries to fire "Jay" Powell. From there maybe he'll go even further off the rails (which, believe it or not, is highly possible) and go all Ron Paul and call to abolish the Fed. To which I say "Please do, fucker. Burn ALL this shit down" bourgeois democrac...

Re: How to get to the original The Bell
Are the original forums no longer accessible? I get sent to an error page. Work in process. We are putting the archives on a different platform as this one made a poor job of it. Kid is handling this and I don't know where we stand at the moment. Nowhere yet sorry. I have been quite busy and we hav...
