RE: [OPE] class illusions about the crisis and the state[MESSAGE NOT SCANNED]

What you say is true up to a point. But grass roots radicalisation can only transform the society if there is a different set of economic policies and a political movement that has taken these on board. Without a working class political economy there can be no working class political movement

Hi Paul C:
 
Looking at the matter historically, I don't think that's how radicalizations happen.
They tend to be more spontaneous and unpredictable: you never know what events
will trigger such changes.
 
Of course, developing an alternative economic program is desirable on other
grounds.
 
In solidarity, Jerry
