I'm coming around to the belief that the far left needs a more mass party (at present it would be the Socialist Party IMO) to enter and become a "left current" within that party. This is similar to what's being done in Labour in the UK. Of course Labour has the advantage of actually BEING a workers' party, albeit a bourgeois one, whereas in the States we don't have anything comparable. Putting the energy and effort into a grouping that would actually be FOR workers first, NOT profit, would be a way to keep the momentum.

As to the seventh paragraph down, I don't really see any way around that conclusion.
