Is this surpose to be the Mutt and Jeff act of post the working class is
dead act. Anybody see what is happening in France..Jerry I can understand
because he never claimed to adhere to Marxism but Jim is now basically into
blaming the working class for years and decades of Stalinist and Social
Democratic betrayal. In merry old England where Jim derives from the Miners
strike and its betrayal by the leadership was a huge defeat.. But the
english proletariat will rise again..

And Jim I believe is dead wrong on this stuff. At least here in Sweden their
is a clear tendency of the left growing and a left right polarization in the
wake of Social Democratic betrayal..I think that this will be the case in
merry old England just as the rest of European working class begins to shed
its lethargy and events force them to move..

So don't count your chocolate teapots before they hatch..

And as I said once before. There is no fundamental difference between
Proyect and Jim. They just have different approaches to fleeing the class
for "greener" pastures..

Warm Regards
Bob Malecki
