Here we go again... (but mercifully not for long on my part).

Just who the fuck are you to ask "where do I work...what are my 
responsibilities...". You have no right to ask those questions of me. 
Period.

Let's get back to a political discussion.  Since I've distorted your 
politics, please enlighten me. Feel free to indicate your organization's 
intentions in regards to the Democratic Party and Clinton, a relevant 
question, since this is an election year.  Why does the Left in the 
Democratic Party fail to mount even a token opposition to Clinton, the 
most right-wing Democratic president since Harry Truman...or was that 
Grover Cleveland?  Don't you see how the public debate in the electoral 
arena is limited to that between various reactionary trends with the 
Republican Party, which then goes on to constitute the "range of policy 
options" that the electorate is supposed to "choose" between?  What is 
your organization's strategy to come to grips with the most rightwing, 
reactionary political enviorment to be seen in the U.S. in the 20th 
century? (The balance of class forces is more unfavorable now than in the 
20's or 50's, despite the Red Scare and McCarthyism).

Let's get serious and stop the childishness - our revolutionary lives are 
at stake.
