[net.sf-lovers] The Marxist Revolution in the U.S.

SSteinberg.SoftArts%MIT-MULTICS@sri-unix.UUCP (07/02/83)

The U.S. revolution has been held up as the paradigm for
countless Marxist revolutions.  It wasn't magic; it still isn't
and it doesn't make a very good counter example.

If my guide there was correct Jamestown was 40-50% black (read
slave) and their were numerous indentured servants including
many ex-prisoners (read Moll Flanders).  I gather the ratios
were worse down in the Georgia plantation.

I may be wrong but I thought a number of moon-dwellers came
down to earth for negotiations and did moderately well
P.R.-wise.  Americans always root for the underdog.
