John,

This is by far one of the best analyses I have seen about promoting a revolutionary situation in this country. It gives one a lot of food for thought.

As a Palestinian, I would strongly endorse the thrust of your argument: that to bring about a change in Palestine, the revolution needs to be pursued here. And yes there will be all over the world millions of people who will stand in solidarity with the workers of America. Think about the benefits: no to globalization, no to capitalism, no to racism, and yes to justice and to equity and a decent life for all wherever they may be.

Why not think of this as a first draft of a "mission statement" for a new global solidarity movement?

I applaud your effort in thinking through the issues.

In solidarity
