[Peace-discuss] What's Left of the American Left?

[David Green]

That combination of rising youthful passion and political experience with mass 
radical action represents a potent mass base for a new US left political 
formation to emerge. 

 
Organization is what the US left lacks. Not issues, not members, not a wide 
public audience: the US left now has all of them in abundance. Indeed, the 
economic crisis that exploded in 2008 – now becoming a social crisis because the 
"recovery" bypassed the majority that needed it most – has only enhanced that 
abundance. Yet, a deeply rooted and continuously nurtured aversion to unified 
organization undermines the US left's social influence and collective action at 
every turn.
