Try to have an informed and critical position which takes into account _class_ and

_history_, Alejandro. The actual complexities of struggles in Venezuela and elsewhere

 can not be grasped by simple reference to the principles of _bourgeois_ democracy;

real struggles for socialism are going to require something more than idealism and

a call for pacifism by academics.

 

In solidarity, Jerry
