(692 posts)you're problem is not with Jenkins... you're problem is with Jenkins describing Obama and Clinton as the neoliberal tools that they are. Your use of the word praxis peeked my curiosity on your posting history. That you even attempt use "bourgeois political notion" in your reply is beyond laughable. You are staunch Barack Obama supporter and you also support Clinton.
Your attempts to paint yourself knowledgeable in leftist political action and what that means is beyond laughable. Kind of like the CPUSA and Sam Webb endorsing Obama and supposed leftists stumping for Hillary Clinton. Yep, that is "praxis" alright. You can't make that shit up.
When the CPUSA endorses Barack Obama as "part of the battle plan"... anyone paying attention to leftist politics knows that the labels are utterly meaningless at this point in history. The sellouts of the working class and labor are wearing many labels and using many flags these days including "Communist", "Socialist", and talking "praxis" while doing the bidding of the ruling class and the status quo.
Here is your idea of "praxis" "struggle4progress."

"As a first step, I'd settle for some broad-based popular movements that actually tracked important legislation and regulatory efforts at the state and federal level. And a big increase in citizen attention to local government. And more public attention to what the state and federal courts do in specific cases. And an effective student movement for labor solidarity. And a nationwide network of community activists that tracked corporate influence in their own towns and states."
Yep, that's some real understanding and "praxis" you got going on there "struggle4progress." What part of the capitalist institutions and government - at all levels including local - are thoroughly corrupted by capital and beyond any "possible legislation and regulatory efforts" of "New Leftism" activism don't you understand. What a joke that is. Talk about bourgeois bullshit.
What is being said is that you first need to know what you're doing before you can do something and your posts in this thread reveal you haven't a clue what you're doing. With all the warts of the libertarian socialist critiques of Jenkins and Chomsky they stand far above the idiotic notion that stumping for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton as president somehow are representative in any way of leftist political action and "praxis." At least fucking Chomsky, Jenkins, and the libertarian socialists understand where class fits into the picture.
