[DEBATE] : Welcome to USSRA

[Dominic Tweedie]

Hi Berend,

I'm not missing anything. I'm seeing the Roubini (and today's Times
editorial, for another example) idea of state centralism, and that this is
not different from the idea of the election betrayed. In both cases the
expectation is that the state central power can do everything, for better or
for worse.

Whereas the real socialism, and the only possible socialism, means power in
the hands of an organised and armed people. This is the opposite of state
centralism, and it is something which will be a matter of fact and a matter
of popular will when it happens. You must have an eye on that, and not spend
all your time watching and waiting for Jacob Zuma to do something that you
can call a betrayal, so that you can declare that everything is lost until
the second coming of Leon Trotsky. I exaggerate, but only to highlight the
truth. I hope you get the point.

Lose your fear of street committees!

A Luta Continua!

Domza.
