Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

How " socialist " parties can degenerate into personality cults
In the real world ( the rotten capitalist world ) SNOBBERY is as much -if not more- a reality than racism, sexism, homophobia. The CLASS society plants its seeds even in the most proletarian political organizations.
A MASS party - that really attracts ordinary working people- can overcome this insidious evil. In the absence of NUMBERS you invariably arrive at grotesque personality cults or " country club " socialism.
Trotsky once cracked about an American labor leader who was " the ideal socialist leader for successful dentists ".
