Correct Line

[Anderson]

:(Isn't it true that there is no clear correct line which has been able to win over the majority of the leftists and is a major factor in continued dominance of capitalism on the planet?

Isn't it true that there is no clear correct line

The class line.


which has been able to win over the majority of the leftists

Not sure about its winning over the majority of 'leftists,' not sure that 'the left' as a construct is really more than an artificiality. At a time when working class activity is low, the 'left' is mainly a bunch of sects who aren't highly relevant, although we can do our part. In working class self-activity, at times of higher class struggle, the tendency has ultimately been towards the dominance of the class line simply through daily experience, although this is and will be evolutionary and developed over time rather than homogeneous and all at once.


and is a major factor in continued dominance of capitalism on the planet?

No.

The correct line is "go fuck yourself". As in, what drives the proletariat towards revolutionary action isn't this-or-that body of theory or rhetoric or cheerful pamphlets with pictures of smiling men on tractors, it's being unable to reconcile their demand for humanity with capital's demands for obedience, until they have no choice but do declare "fuck you", and begin tearing down that which impedes their humanity. That's not something which the left (or even the Left) can impart, it's something that has to develop through class struggle.

So do you mean that past 150 years of class struggle has not produced enough experience for the working class leadership to make a political line:confused:

[Tim Finnegan]

I've never met "the working class leadership". Have you?

[LeftAtheist]

The working class makes the revolution, not some cabal of people adhering to the "correct line".
