feels strange to hear you arguing so passionately about the statues. Its only a strategic question, at least it should be. And yo, let the targedy be and dont make a farce out of it.

I occasionally catch up on missed Bungacasts and I was horrified to hear Phil Cunliffe saying that American Independence had some kind of validity as a 'revolution'. I don't know where he gets this idea from, but the events of 1773-83 are probably the biggest ideological obstacle to mounting an effective working-class politics in today's United States of America. I do know that the wartime 'double V' campaign against fascism abroad and racism at home utilised such rhetoric about completing the Revolution, but I would argue that it was the Achilles' Heel of the civil rights movement, in that once there was a superficial completion with the Voting Rights Act, too many who were unwilling to be associated with the likes of Bull Connor could say 'well, that mission's accomplished'. Trying to revive the American Revolution in the service of some radical/progressive agenda would just be another journey into a similar cul-de-sac. What's needed is the assertion that the Revolution tossed out some fine phrases that applied to the elite and the 'pmc' of the time but were used to terrorise a two-thirds of the country into obedience and led to a regime definitively disastrous for indigenous peoples in a way continued British rule might not have been. The 'Revolution' is a fraud and should be dismissed as such. Now, the Grant and Lincoln part Cunliffe mentions in association with it -- well, that's something different altogether and does have use-value for a new ideology, but remember their opponents also appealed to being a 'continuity project' of the War of Independence.
