Talk:Communist League (US)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If this group calls its workers' republic the "Third Republic," logically that would have to make the United States from the Civil War to the election of Dubya the "First Republic," not the "Second Republic". That is to say, if we are currently in the "Third Republic," the final capitalist stage, then the workers' republic of which the Communist League speaks would have to be called the "Fourth Republic," not the "Third Republic."

But I'm probably nitpicking. I've never heard from nor seen the Communist League, the International Working People's Association, or the Free People's Movement, so they must not be very significant, at least not right now. 71.255.198.67 20:03, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

In our view, what exists today, and has existed since 2000, is not a republic -- at the very least, not one worthy of the label. Just as the Civil War years (1861-65) can be seen as a period of transition from the First to the Second Republic, so this period we are in now is a transition from the Second to the Third. -- Miles, Communist League 15:52, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
