I agree that Bernie was wrong to vote for the crime bill but he has consistently fought for a progressive agenda on other occasions. Also I believe the left can learn from Bernie's ability to articulate a left agenda in a fashion which ordinary workers can comprehend and then get them to vote for him. A few more Bernies, even with flaws, would be a great step forward for us. Cockburn's various bashings have yet to accomplish anything positive, except perhaps to make him and the ultra-left like the Sparts feel superior to everyone else. --- from list marxism-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu --- ------------------
