We have no friends in either of the parties. To speak of being between them is as silly as to speak of being between Hitler and Goebbels. There will be no progressive movement, no substantial reforms, not breaking of the War on Crime (currently the greatest evil domestically) until the Democratic Party is utterly discredited. The Democratic Party is not by any conceivable fantasy parallel to the German Social Democratic Party. The German CP made a political error in the late 20s and early 30s with its "Social Fascism" line. Scattered progressives in the United States today are making an almost equally great error by their absurd fantasy that they have friends in the Democratic Party. Wellstone is ultimately no better than Bush. Nader saw that. The parallel today to the German CP of the '30s consists of those progressives who did not fall in behind Nader. Carrol
