'When people are disillusioned, they begin to look for the real solutions. Building a party that's a little more to the left isn't one of them.' On the other hand, the author of "How To Change The World" has to concede, the future of the polemic is hardly assured. 'Hugo Chavez is a formidable opponent. He has oil and oil money and the support of international Trotskyists. He could pull it off. The possible election of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador as president of Mexico would greatly bolster the cause of the state-oriented left.'" http://www.counterpunch.org/ross04022005.html > On Wed, 18 May 2005 08:30 , <Gerald_A_Levy@msn.com> sent: > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "John Holloway" johnholloway@PRODIGY.NET.MX> > To: OPE-L@SUS.CSUCHICO.EDU> > Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2005 7:59 AM > Subject: Re: [OPE-L] Taking Debate Seriously > > > M.
