The responsibility for Debray's political confusion must be laid at the door of the Stalinists. His search for a substitute to the building of a revolutionary party leads him to seek affinity with 'tinged with fascist movements sympathies', despite his courage- ous desire to struggle against imperialism. But the Democratic Party, cratic , being a capitalist party, has no alternative to what it pre- f this • tends to be criticizing.

This is partly why its mid- term election fight against Nixon has been so muted. The Democrats rely on anti-Republican feeling and revulsion against their policies rubbing off on to the Demo- cratic Party. The building of the US Labour Party is urgently required to put an end to fraudulent Democratic posture as the 'friends of labour' and to win the working class to a socialist programme which alone can answer the threat of mass unemployment and its pauperization.
