You know what else is a dead end? The Green Party.

I have no doubt that 20 years or so from now there will be a mass revolutionary party with a membership made up of the most exploited members of the working class. By analogy, there were numerous anti-slavery parties in the 1840s and 50s that flew beneath the radar because there was no dominant class that was ready to take on the slavocracy. But if I were alive back then, I would have supported any party committed to eradicating slavery. You might argue, like Left Voice does, that the GP is not specifically anti-capitalist. Neither would a Labor Party have been in the 1980s that never went anywhere because of the inability of the leftwing of the labor movement to push forward with it. There was also a move to build a Black Political Party that was also stillborn that also withered on the vine. If there was a mass Labor or Black Party in the USA, that would begin to open up the possibility of a fracturing of the two-party system. That is why the bourgeoisie hates the GP so much. It has one toe in the door leading to a dismantling of the two-party system that they cannot tolerate, especially in a period of advanced capitalist decay. Yes, it's true that the GP is flawed but until something better comes along, it gets my support especially running a Marxist like Howie Hawkins who has been on Marxmail for well over a decade.
