Good: The 2nd Annual NYC Anarchist Bookfair. Why, you may ask, would a Marxist be so eagerly awaiting the upcoming anarchist bookfair? Because it promises to be a gathering of open-minded and young Leftists, and so it is the ideal place for open dialog and exchange of ideas about changing the world for the better. While we may disagree about a lot of things, we can learn from each other and organize together to help make the world a better place.
… That, and I am a book hor. I luff books of all kinds, and buy a lot, much to the chagrin of my Dino.
Bad: Left Forum 2008. The dialog around revolution and social change has been reduced to talking about how great the movements were, discussing why we should vote for Obama, and encouraging people to buy local organic produce. The only redeeming value was meeting new people and selling some lit.
Ugly: News & Letters Committees and how it has been transformed into its opposite. Please read this public statement of the Marxist-Humanist Tendency and send responses as appropriate. Contact Olga Domanski and let her know that this is no way to run a revolutionary Marxist organization. Support the Marxist-Humanist Tendency!
