5328 preaching, waiting -- rank: 149

Most of the Labor Party supporters I know have grown disgusted with the LP's abstention from politics. Sure, it's great to organize around issues, but that's not the point of a PARTY, is it? If "objective conditions" aren't ripe to be running people for office (and I ...

If I go, I'll put on my richest back-country drawl ... and bring a pillow. I'm not sure how many of these left luminaries actually plan to attend (few?), and how many are simply signers-on (my case). CK ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Pugliese" <debsian at pacbell.net> To ...

5332 delinking does not equal autarky (J O'Connor) -- rank: 149

5333 The Next Agenda (left Democrat confab) -- rank: 149

Most of these people have completely ignored disabled persons as an oppressed class. None that I know of have spoken up for the Americans with Disabilities ACt, or even know disability social model theory. None of them have made the capitalist connection to our oppression. Now that would be OK if ...
