Steele: Why the RCP Can’t Lead a Revolution \r\n<\/p>
By John Steele<\/p>\r\n
I've been associated with the RCP, often closely, over a 25 year period, ending about two years ago. I helped work on the 9 Letters<\/span> with Mike Ely. While the RCP public Orientation charges the 9 Letters with <\/i>vague \"<\/i>distortions,\" I can say, from my own experience, that the Letters' description of the RCP’s line and analysis is carefully accurate.<\/i> <\/i><\/p>\r\n I thought it might contribute to the discussion to post some of what I wrote in making my own break from the party orbit in the spring of '06. I got essentially no reply of any substance to the critical work I am posting here. I was instead told two things (almost in passing): That I was wrong to imply that the Party was demanding \"unquestioning\" recognition of Avakian, and that my differences would lead me to turn my back on the revolution. <\/i><\/p>\r\n I removed any passages on internal party functioning and made some clarifying edits (mostly questions of party jargon).<\/i>read article <\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n\n","contact":"rosarl13@yahoo.com","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/html","summary":"I\u2019ve been associated with the RCP, often closely, over a 25 year period, ending about two years ago.
