This Isn't 1972 - This Is A Good Time To Be A Liberal!

17. Well, a dialectic view would say that oppression creates it's own reaction.......

and resistance. And the oppression won't stop until it runs up against an immovable resistance.

Reds are becoming more and more popular. Their already more popular than Congress. And Sawant in Seattle won an at-large position with 90k votes and STATED positions like urging the workers to take over and occupy Boeing if it threatens to close and move the plant. In spite of the fact that I and Worker's Power have some problems with Socialist Alternative and their Ted Grantish type of positions on some issues, no one can deny that that IS a revolutionary socialist position. Not just socialist, but REVOLUTIONARY socialist.

I remain optimistic for revolutionary socialism simply because it IS the counter to capitalism, historically and logically. We'll just have to see how it plays out though and I'd love to see you proven wrong too.
