Don't Expel! Censure!

Yes, Melvin, you are correct that the conservatives, the right-wing, the Yellows, the bourgeois socialists has a majority on the NC and can block anything and everything. So yes, you probably have nothing to fear, and is why I said censure "may" be brought, but since the probability it would pass it nil, I probably won't bother.

And let me make a correction to my initial post. Only the signatories of the North Carolina letter should be censured for lies and slander. I received my referendum ballot yesterday and read the con statement and there is no references to DT, so it is a mute issue. But the North Carolina letter is slanderous and its signatories should be censured for attacks on DT similar to, if not worse, than Chester's attacks on Misnik and Solidarity for which he was properly censured.

I'm sorry my interpretation of the Party's history does not please you. There is no membership requirement saying one must agree with any official line on the Party's history, so I think I am free to read and interpret as I see fit. My only point is we are not the sole heirs of the old Socialist Party of America, nor should we be. The SPA drifted rightward for decades and concluded in renaming itself as Social Democrats USA -- obviously this would require a majority decision, so a majority must have supported this. I embrace the Debs era, period.
