Subject: M-I: Revolutionary Potential of the Proletariat in the West?


I'm not sure if there is a "revolutionary potential" of the western 
proletariat -- much less, the left academics in the west of different 
strains (neo-Marxist, western Marxist, pomos, and all).  There is too 
much talk, no action.  Where is Marxist praxis?

A revolution is going on today in the Philippines, which includes 
revolutionary talk and revolutionary action.  

Marx said:  "All philosophers have hitherto described the world; the 
point is to change it."

I'm sorry, I'm not convinced of the revolutionary potential of the 
proletariat in Australia, New Zealand, U.S., Canada, or Western Europe.  
There is revolutionary KINETIC in the Philippines now, today. A 
revolution is going on.  

The test of the pudding is in the eating.
