Very encouraging. He's got a point on the problems w tryin to unite the 20th century left. 

 

Didn't quite realize solidarity was in such a state, thought they might have a bit of presence in nyc.  In the UK their sister org is much the same - I was attracted to Socialist Resistance because of their ideas, but realized in practice that the avg age in the organization is 50+, combined with its microscopic size and the fact that its active members are dissolved in any number of campaigns - its a barely functional organization. 

 

Interesting though in that it opens up expansion opportunities for NS, alongside the invite to Chicago (anyone attending?) it seems like there may be a basis for more formal cooperation/leveraging mutual resources.  In the UK SR/ISN are looking to fuse within the year.
