Note: The White Rose is a new Bolshevik-Leninist group, comprised by members exiled from the Australian based “Workers League”, because of their dissatisfaction with what they consider to be its repressive, dysfunctional process in handling dissent.
Good contribution. My own view is that it is not necessary a priori to set a course with a lot of specificity, but rather that we need to allow it to evolve in the course of struggle. It is not only necessary to have a method of consolidation, as is pointed out, but also that any plan must be accepted, even EMBRACED by the majority of those who CAN in fact make a revolution possible. In other words, what KIND of socialism is to be embraced by the US working class? This will evolve as history moves forward. I think our main task currently is to refute the ruling class lies and distortions of socialism (and Marxism) that prevail, whee in such absurdities as characterizing the Obama-Biden-Pelosi gang as "Marxist." We need to emphasize that above all, genuine socialism embraces COOPERATION for survival and prosperity, not competition. sports provide a good analogy. Championship teams are ones in which there is excellent TEAMWORK, rather than just relying on superstars. They compete against other teams, just as our socialist-oriented (including the communitarian perspective) TEAM competes against the Capitalist team. Jon
