Remembering radical left wing firebrand Peter Camejo


In this year 2019 I still miss radical leftist firebrand Peter Camejo . His classic "Tumultuous 60s " pamphlet " How To Make a Revolution in the United States " is still instructive and inspiring . Like Camejo I concluded a long time ago at the beginning of the Reagan Era ( when Camejo was expelled from the once respectable Socialist Workers Party, for years now a Jack Barnes cult ) that sectarian Marxist-Leninist-Trotskyist parties had degenerated into bizarre personality cults containing the seeds of totalitarianism.
ON THE LEFT today there is still a need for radical CREATIVITY . Fans of SOCIALISM must build a bridge to the world's millions of religious people , Catholics , Protestants , Orthodox Jews, the people of the Islamic faith. Those pedantic boring lectures on ETERNAL MATTER IN MOTION , on the amazing secular revelations of DIALECTICAL MATERIALISM inspire only socially crippled nerds.
Also the language of crude class hatred does not help to build a mass movement for what socialist humanist Erich Fromm called " The Sane Society ".

Peter Camejo endorses Ralph Nader
