I've realized, especially this year as a sociology major, that I've become increasingly socialist, maybe not so much idealist. The socialist cynic would be more of a title for myself. In light of Obama's douchebaggery (I hope I'm allowed to use "offensive" language on this blog) as well, I find myself aligning with you more and more. Anyway, keep writing broski, and if you get more active I could throw the link up on my FB, maybe get more people to read it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05709056305636058816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695153064857944865.post-20391809651220794752011-03-25T15:22:40.102-04:002011-03-25T15:22:40.102-04:00Well, the problem with these popular uprisings is ...Well, the problem with these popular uprisings is that there does not exist a coherent, independent working class (i.e., Marxist), leadership that can fight for socialism. In Egypt, as nice as it is to have Mubarak gone, the state, in the form of the armed forces, remains in tact and in power. Without a socialist leadership to fight for a workers revolution, you wind up with one form or another of nationalist leadership, that will not move them/us one inch closer to socialism and human liberation. But I like your take on the events in Wisconsin. Keep on reading, writing and thinking. I recommend Trotsky, in particular. And say "hi" to your dad for me.Lev Bronsteinnoreply@blogger.com
