SDF you posted a link, which I found entertaining and interesting I might add, about 'Socialism from below' not so long ago and I was wondering just what your opinions and all where on this phenomena.I regard it as broadly progressive that is finally striking home amongst the ranks of some bolsheviks (they defended the SWP while launching a fairly inaccurate assault on anarchists) that democracy and liberty are worth something, perhaps with the infusion of a humanist dimension they could become closer to Marx (well when he wasnt in a self-important authoritarian mood).
I'd also like to know Barry's view because it appears to be a fairly sound rebuke of his bolshevism, and all the centralist vanguardism that entails, from a Marxist perspective (the human perspective is the most important though in my opinion I care little for idolitrous admiration some people have for Great Men and Grand Thinkers, it's a bit close to the whole 'Man and Superman' thing of the facists).
See you all next week.
