Re: SEIU Rank and File Revolt

I guess I have to spell things out.

My dear anarchist, I have directly refuted the idea you share with Tony Cliff, the absurd idea that the countries that have overthrown capitalism are capitalist. I did this in:

On North Korea, Cuba, and Vietnam

My dear anarchist, you may not agree with Cliff on other things, but you definitely believe in the myth of state capitalism. No straw man here. This was answered fully.

As for the problems of the Leninist models of socialism, they were fully answered in:

The Negative And Positive Lessons Of October 1917

In your opposition to working class power, my dear anarchist, the obvious alternative is the continued dictatorship of the wealthy with its continued war, exploitation, and environmental destruction. Those not interested in power either have no clue or no interest in change. You leave power in the hands of those that cause our problems. Even worse, you pretend that your radical defense of the status quo is somehow revolutionary.

Likewise, ecological problems with coal, oil, or nuclear power production will not be resolved under a capitalist economy where the predominant consideration is profit. It will take socialism to save the planet.
