Click on the headline to link to a "HistoMat" blog entry concerning the possible uses of "Facebook" as an organizing tool for our leftist politics.

This is hardly my, or anyone's, last word on the the possible uses of technology as such uses are always a necessary consideration as they evolve for those of us that fight for our communist future. One only needs to look at the use of such technologies ("Twitter","Facebook", "YouTube",blogs, etc.)in the initial organizing of the opposition in Iran to understand these possibilities. But there are limitations to the use of any such vehicles as effective tools for our side, our communist side, especially given our current tasks. The hard facts for us today are the necessity to recruit, teach, and maintain the cadre who will raise hell now(as the linked article in the blog details)but also be there when a revolutionary opportunity opens up. That cadre creation no cyberspace technology can act as a substitute for, at least if history is any guide.
