Bob Morris on Aug 30, 2010, 5:24 am In the world of the lunatic Marxist left (apologies to non-deranged Marxists out there), anything that capitalists and imperialists do must automatically be opposed, regardless of fact or even reality. We have a fine new example of this. The British Socialist Workers Party has proclaimed that Hitler was not planning to invade Britain and [...] Bob Morris on Aug 22, 2010, 3:15 pm Stuart Bramhall continues his series about capitalism and socialism In general, Marxists believe the economic laws that govern capitalism make it inherently flawed – dooming it to eventual failure. They also see a grave risk that the collapse of capitalism will bring down civilization with it. Which is why they argue for workers to hasten [...] Bob Morris on Aug 18, 2010, 5:30 am Long-time stalwart organizer Carl Davidson interviewed at Progressive Democrats of America meeting in Cleveland. They are not affiliated with the Democratic Party. He talks about how progressives have been shut out of the Democratic Party and how their local PDA meetings now draw more people than Democratic Party meetings. That’s because they organize from [...] Bob Morris on Jul 28, 2010, 5:30 am An Arizona anarchist group doesn’t want no carpet-bagging Marxists bungee-jumping into their state, especially since those group’s primary purpose is recruiting for their parties and thus they care only secondarily about the immigration law crisis. A constant for those of us in Arizona who have been in the streets since the passage of SB [...] Category: Socialism | 6 comments - (Comments are closed) Bob Morris on Jul 26, 2010, 5:30 am Radicals at Work, “activists building a stronger labor movement”, detail six points about what a good organizer does and how being a doctrinaire radical can get in the way of organizing effectively. What they’re saying is very much in the Saul Alinsky mode. He was a genuine radical who had little use for [...] Bob Morris on Jul 8, 2010, 12:22 pm By Roy Zimmerman from his Real American CD http://www.royzimmerman.com/ If you’re one of them grass-roots protesters who hates socialism and just wants his country back, “Real American” is the magnifying glass burning a hole in your forehead.

It also offers a great summary of the dialogue that has taken shape across the world in response to the global financial crisis. Category: Socialism | Comments are closed Bob Morris on Jul 1, 2010, 5:30 am Harry’s Place gets seriously snarky about the upcoming Marxism 2010 conference in London sponsored by the Socialist Workers Party UK (who AFAIK aren’t speaking to the US Socialist Workers Party, which certainly demonstrates one of the points Harry’s Place is making) If you’re planning on going to Marxism 2010, and trying to decide which meetings [...] Bob Morris on Jun 28, 2010, 8:40 am Bruce Sterling comments in his usual acerbic yet insightful manner on U.S. Social Forum in Detroit as reported by Amy Goodman. The comments inside triple parentheses are his, the rest is hers. Far larger than any tea party convention, it has gotten very little mainstream-media coverage. Not a tightly scripted, staged political convention, or a [...] Tags: organizing | Category: Socialism | Comments are closed Bob Morris on Jun 22, 2010, 5:26 am Sectarianism, left cadre organizations, and ultra-leftism too often create a squabbling, ineffective, sometimes fanatical left, filled with schisms and splinter groups. Chip Berlet explores this in an article written in 1999 but just as true now. An excerpt. Ultra-leftism is an egocentric form of mythopoetic martyrdom whereby practitioners anoint themselves as the beleaguered guardians [...] Tags: PSL, sectarianism, SWP, ultra leftism, Workers World | Category: Socialism | 5 comments - (Comments are closed) |  Get Polizeros by emailIndependent Voter NetworkArticles by Bob Morris on California and Arizona renewable energy, budget and border issues CategoriesArchives | ||||
