Subject: Trots for Nader
From: Chuck0 <chuck-AT-dojo.tao.ca>


Hey, I'm not kidding with that subject line! It really is true. Some of you 
may have heard that the ISO (International Socialist Organization) here in 
the U.S. had endorsed Nader. If you take a gander at the latest issue of 
their paper, Socialist Worker, you'll see them proclaiming their move to 
reformism loudly.

Even though the ISO numbers less than a 1000 people in the U.S., this is 
further evidence of massive shifts in the American left. The ISO supports 
Nader, the Communist Party the Democrats. The authoritarian Left is having 
problems climbing out of the dustbin of history, thus these strange moves by 
the surviving parties.

The prognosis for anarchism in North America is pretty good right now. We're 
seeing more and more liberals and progressives gravitating towards anarchist 
ideas and practices, especially the latter. And with that positive article in 
yesterday's NY Times on anarchism we see that the ruling class is taking us 
seriously. We've been getting some negative press, but it seems to be 
counterbalanced so far by sympathetic reporters. 

Let's get lots of anarchists in Prague next month!
