Hi Jurriaan:
 
How were you able to arrive at that conclusion?  What definition of 
'progressive' are you using?
 
 
> In essence, they confuse success with failure, and failure with success, 
 
 
Both trade union members and the Left are not confused on that
score: they recognize a series of devastating defeats going back 
to the early 1980's (actually, the late 70's).
 
In solidarity, Jerry
