Welcome back folks & Happy New Year --may it be one of progressive and movement-building breakthroughs! I'm not sure Bill meant this to sound quite as defeatist as I read it... >William M. Mandel" wrote: "... at this point, New Deal or social-democratic capitalism is the >most progressive thing available, and the job is to hang on to it to the degree that it exists, >and to muddle through until future generations work out something better...." but my take is to do quite a bit more than "hang on" to what we have (sounds like an unintended Gitlinesque justification for supporting Al Gore); in fact to work on the project of "working out something better." Movement building, as I'm sure Bill would agree, has to continue, and it ought I think to lay the groundwork for a radical consciousness about global capital and the injuries it inflicts. Ted Morgan
