It’s a problem when the left feels it has the right and duty to blast the shit out of anybody who isn’t down with its politics and then when someone takes issue with it cry “Foul Play.” The left and every other grouping in the Democratic Party should understand that the struggle for unity isn’t someone else’s problem.
Given the depth and scope of crisis facing the Biden administration and the fierce opposition that can be expected from the Republican-Trumpian political bloc to even the smallest initiative of the administration, the accent in the Democratic Party and the democratic coalition should fall on unity, not fractious infighting.

I'm a long-time socialist and activist, but new to the blogging world. I hope to bring a different perspective on politics, sports, culture, and Marxism. Besides blogging, I also leave plenty of time for swimming, hiking, ESPN, music, reading, drinking good beer, and, not least, my family and friends. I wish I could play basketball, but my knees ruled out that possibility long ago.
While I currently reside in New York, my politically formative years were spent in Portland, Me. and Detroit during the 1970s and 1980s. I graduated from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia (where I played basketball) and received a MA in economics from the University of Connecticut.
I was the national chairperson of the Communist Party, USA from 2000 until 2014 when I stepped down at the convention. In 2016 I resigned from the Communist Party two years later. We were no longer on the same page.
