		<description><![CDATA[LEO PANITCH A common response of the left to the financial crisis that broke out in the USA in 2007-08 was often a kind of Michael Moore-type populist one: Why are you bailing the banks out? Let them go under. This kind of response was, of course, utterly irresponsible, with no thought given to what [...]]]></description>

At that time, the abject failure of social democracy to oppose the imperialist war produced a major crisis on the left. This crisis was eventually &#8220;resolved&#8221; by the October Revolution and the development of a new revolutionary politics [...]]]></description>

Noam Chomsky points to the substantive trap the U.S. president finds himself in: A CNN headline, reporting Obama&#8217;s plans for his June 4 Cairo [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There's some sort of strategic disconnect going on here between the lack of widespread support for the protests and radical tactics that actually exist and the hyperventilating about the left's (or populism's) allegedly moribund spirit. If mass mobilization is what you really want, you have to start somewhere, and the students, however goofy or shambolic, are one of the few organized forces willing to risk something.]]></description>

At the same time that Johnson was launching his 'War on Poverty' he was escalating the US war against the people of Vietnam and Laos, as well as carrying out the criminal invasion of the Dominican Republic (1965).]]></description>
