Of course the people are! And of course we need independent political
action! But right now, defeating the  Republicans and their Contract [on]
America is a life and death issue to millions of Americans. It can't be left
alone in favor of ultraleftism.

Well, I thought you'd be with me here. I guess not. But hanging around
drawing up draft programmes read by a few hundred people on "how to fight
the revolution" isn't going to make the revolution. Real, basic, material
struggles can provide that basis--and it is the job of Communists in these
struggles to inject the Communist plus--to work to raise the ideological
level of the struggle one is in--from social consciousness tro class
consciousness too socialIST conscious and thereby build a truly solid base
for organizing--one gained through struggle. Comradely, Charlotte
