This article by Rubin is a keeper. Will be waiting for his book.

He is making an interesting case about American left being a lot more radical than the West Euro Socialists.

He is mistaken about this detail:
Moreover, in contrast to the NNL, Marxists saw the “bourgeois” government as an inevitable enemy. Impossible to change it could only be overthrown. The NNL sought to take over that government and use it to force “revolution” from above
Lenin was teaching that it is fine to take power by using the existing electoral process. But once the right people would come to power, they should not give it up.
