any possibility of anyone making a video or audio recording of the discussions??? I'm voraciously devouring any talks being given on the subject.
Thanks for the interest. A video, I doubt. We'll try and record it though.

I wish I could have voted for Obama. I wanted to be part of the mass movement. But I feel like I know too much. I know what is going to happen. For me to vote for Obama (or, IMHO, for any revolutionary anarchist) would have been unprincipled (...) But this is a good time to call on the unions and Black and other oppressed communities to make demands on the incoming administration (with its Democratic majority in both houses). We call on the unions and mass organizations to demand, not bailouts for the rich, but jobs for all, cancellation of mortages for working and poor people, social services for the poor, a single-payer--truly universal--healthcare system, a real, effective, right to form unions in all enterprises, an immediate end to the Iraqi war AND an immediate end to the Afghan war. Etc. This is a perfectly reasonable program--but one which we know (and should say) will not be carried out by Obama and the Democrats, but requires a revolution. But to all those who hold a good opinion of Obama, we should join with them in demanding these reforms. Or so I believe.
