Jim Cannon 1964 speech on You Tube

Jim Cannon's speech on "Perspectives for
American Revolution" is now available on You
Tube. A 22 year old American Trotskyist
has put it on YouTube.

This is a significant development as it
is a sign of a resurgence of Trotskyism. Even
the Russian and Chinese Bureaucracies cannot
totally block the growth of Trotsky's influence.
On Russian TV they covered a story of
a meeting celebrating the 75th anniversary of Trotsky's
speech at Copenhagen in 1932. Amazingly the Chinese People's
Daily said that Trotsky was the 60th most important
in influncing Chinese history. This move does not however
invalidate the programme and strategy of Political
Revolution as the Chinese Bureaucracy can make all kinds
of concessions but never renounce their privliges to the
revolutionary workers.

Brief statement on video showing Clinto and Obama on Seeger song

As I have been busy for several weeks I have not
looked at my other defunct blog "Brain on Trotskyism".
Tonight I have noticed a video on my blog
concerning Obama and Clinton which is not clear whether
they support Obama.

As a Trotskyist which is the modern form of
Revolutionary Marxism I am opposed to voting for
Obama or any other Bourgeois candidate. Within
this framework there is however a radicaliation
which American Socialist Viewpoint correctly
defined as being incorporated into Liberal Bourgeois
politics. The strategy and tactics of American Trotskyists
is to break those radicalising forces from Bourgeois politics
along the road of independent class and oppressed
strugles which can go in a revolutionary direction.
