Louis: This weekend I will begin work on a postmortem on McCarthyism. 
McCarthyism, according to both Trotskyism and the CPUSA, *was* fascism. I 
have a different appreciation of what was going on in the 1950s, and 
although I don't usually engage in hindsight analysis, will try to put 
forward a counter-analysis to the SWP and CPUSA. I will also try to 
extend this into a framework for understanding ultrarightism today.
