RE: [OPE] autopilot

Because it focuses on wining rights which have to be won politically -- a constitutional outlawing of exploitation, a cancellation of debts, these are political demands to acheive economic objectives. It also focuses of democratisation of the EU, the latter very much int he spirit of Lenins programme

Hi Paul C:

That's why this strategy is limited to countries which already have a strong
trade union movement. In the US, union membership has been declining for
several decades and it is increasingly divided.

How do you see your strategy as fundamentally different from an
"economistic" one which Lenin and others were so critical of?

In solidarity, Jerry
