You totally missed K.Roys point which is that this was not a rally of the US Libertarian Party. The Libertarian movement is broad. You have a number of Left libertarians who are involved in the peace movement and Independent media movement who supported Paul. Also Paul has Kept the Bob Barr campaign at arms length the current LP candidate for president. He has given no endorsement of the LP this election cycle and does not look like he will.

"Labor bosses" as a term dates back pretty far before the right wing started using it. And it is a term used by many Left and center included.

At the Ron Paul Rally folks led a chant of "Down with the Blockade" referring to the blockade on Cuba. I would not characterize them as right wing. That is too simplistic and condescending term for them.

Most folks are pro union. Even Sarah Palin to a degree. In her acceptance speech she proudly gave a shout out to the Steel Workers Union. The issue is the labor bosses. Local presidents make upwards of 250,000 and the AFL-CIO leadership are millionaires. Obamas tax on the high income folks will affect them too. I find it interesting that the labor bosses never mention that but it's probably because they don't like reminding average workers that they too are rich. This is a major problem facing the union movement. They play right into the hands of the right wing with corruption, and hugely gross salaries while saying they represent the working class.

This is a nice article. Of course didn't they use this same analogy to McGovern in '72?

On the question of DC and "Unity Action" Communists did not come up with the idea of Unity in Action. All political organazations have a voting process and then the wining platform or idea is then expected to be followed by the membership. PDA does this, my church does it , and Unions do it. All organizations that are not anarchist for the most part do it. I think we are making a political theory out of what to most organizers looks like just plain common sense. On the other hand the main problem with calling it "Democratic centralism" is that it is a term associated with a old Soviet organizing model. You say "Democratic Centralism" folks automatically think Comintern and Stalin.

I think this thread has over analyzed the statement. Out hundreds of statements and papers located on this website there are only a handful of statements on China. The statement on China above is a simple statement that is pro-peace. You guys have an ideological beef over the China issue and that is understandable but you are blowing this way out of proportion. We have plenty of statements on Cuba as well. Why not ask the question Is the CPUSA getting money from the Cuban government? Because that question would just be as equally stupid.

Speaking of "the mists of irrelevancy". Sounds like Christian is still carrying the torch for the COC. Are they even still around?

Brzezinski? LMAO! Wow talk about still chasing the shadows of the cold war. I think you give way too much weight to Brzezinski. He is probably 325th on the totem poll of Obama advisers. (Obama has hundreds of advisers by the way.)

Re: CPUSA Online - John Bachtell on "The Sandy Rios Show" WYLL radio

sdelgado80 — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 13:57:39 -0000

Good Points Mike. As to whether or not anything is gained on going on shows like The Sandy Rios show. It's pretty much about name recognition; letting people we know we exist in the broader public is half the battle. While obviously Sandys audience may not be considered broad; at times it can have a ripple effect and get people talking. Like when a while back a right wing nut job congressman from Texas on the congressional floor urged members to not vote for the Employee Free Choice act because it was supported by the CPUSA. He was laughed at and then we got some media coverage and traffic to the websites as a result. And many took a look at our program and said hey i like what these folks have to say. Also we shouldn't shy away from debate. There are surprisingly a number of social conservatives who agree with our economic program while we don't agree on many things they can still play a role in the movements for better healthcare, ending the war, and a better economy for all. Also the party is picky about what media outlets it goes on. It doesn't respond to all requests. My favorite one is the show"Wife Swap" they wanted a communist woman to switch families with a crazy right winger. The party declined. The party wants to be present but not engage in outright stupidity for the sake of media coverage. It's a line you have to walk with the mass media since they are inclined to go for the stereotypes. Anyway this is just my opinion. Cheers.

Ya. I think Sandy comes off a little crazy. All you have to do is go to emergency rooms? How the hell is that Healthcare? Isn't the Idea to avoid emergency rooms?
