Conversation Between Zeus the Moose and Die Neue Zeit

  1. Die Neue Zeit
    Did you watch Animaniacs in the early 90s, or did you watch it later on?
  2. Zeus the Moose
    Nope, not a WIIU member.

    On the German Revolution, if you're interested:

    Heh, thanks. "Educate, Agitate, Organize" has been a slogan of the Socialist Party's (currently defunct) youth wing for some time. YPSL also used/uses the "Three Arrows" symbol, which I'm a big fan of.
  6. Die Neue Zeit
    I like your new avatar especially for having Wilhelm Liebknecht's slogan in the correct order.

    Had to break up my post due to character limits:

    Still, they are of a different mindset than, say, the Freedom Socialist Party and Socialist Action, who called a vote for the various socialist presidential tickets that were standing in 2008 (with the FSP rating the SP-USA highest, and Socialist Action being a bit more neutral on rating.)

    Re Socialist Alternative's "vote Green": it seemed to be more of a specifically-Nader vote than a Green vote, and I can't think of anything in particular that gave a blanket endorsement to voting for Green Party candidates.

    As for as the strategy goes, it makes some sense given their line on trying to build a workers' party, as it's an attempt to engage the most powerful force to the left of the Democrats. I don't agree with it (though I don't oppose working with the Green Party under specific conditions), but I can see where they're coming from. Interestingly, the WIL (US section of the IMT) has done something similar: they called for a McKinney vote in 2008, and their St. Louis branch has done some work with the Green Party in their area.

    He read what he wanted to read, sure.

    Except that I don't think Sean read Kagarlitsky enough. He mentions "billionaire-Bolsheviks" but for some reason isn't aware of Kagarlitsky's quite revolutionary Marxism.
