Dana Cloud

A longtime activist in anti-war, labor, abortion rights, gay rights, immigrant rights, anti-death-penalty, and anti-racist movements, she is a member of the International Socialist Organization.


The ISO stands in the tradition of revolutionary socialists Karl Marx, V.I. Lenin and Leon Trotsky in the belief that workers themselves--the vast majority of the population--are the only force that can lead the fight to win a socialist society. Socialism can't be brought about from above, but has to be won by workers themselves.

... 'n Mz. Cloud thinks she's "all that".

Excellent column, superb points by Mr. Horowitz.

There's something wrong with Mz. Cloud's "thinking" apparatus. I wonder if she hasn't something along the lines of bipolar. Why can't see grow up? Get some help? 'cuz it sure ain't about "thinking".

I’m not sure about Trotsky, but if they really believe that Lenin is part of the tradition where “socialism can’t be brought about from above, but has to be won by workers themselves,” they are bigger idiots than I thought. Post-literate communists.
