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.
