Hi Paul B:

I think I agree with your point here, but as you suggest, the format of the
article readily allows for others to take up the issues posed within the
context of more concrete situations. It would be interesting to learn
whether
groups of companeras and companeros in Venezuela and elsewhere have
already discussed Harnecker's ideas and to hear what ideas they came up
with. I suspect that part of the purpose of MH's "Ideas" was to intervene
in PSUV discussions about the way forward.

In solidarity, Jerry
