2. She defends Assange from a liberal “free press” perspective, which puts her far away from the revolutionary perspective. She only proves inadvertently that even with 95% in favor of his release, with public figures such as herself in his camp, the government cannot respond in favor of his release.

3. The military and its empire alone represent the economic interests and the life-line of capitalism. The suppression of free speech, like all imperialist policy, is not a choice. They cannot give in to pressure from the people. All discourse in opposition to the military and its conscious atrocity policy stands as a threat that they must ban, censor, and criminalize.

4. Hollywood Opportunism will not save the party from obscurity. The party must remain confident in a direct road to the masses, not an indirect one. Anderson needs a reminder, not just congratulations for her liberalism. Socialists suffered many betrayals from the Left elites of bourgeois politics and culture. The capitalists seek a deal with the SEP, but this will not raise the SEP in prominence. Any deal would keep the party small while obligating the leadership to enforce the secret deal to deny democratic rights to its own membership

5. The revolutionary and reformist roads have long ago diverged. Ms. Anderson should reach openly revolutionary conclusions from this affair, and furthermore turn resolutely against the reformist, liberal, counter-revolutionary tradition of Hollywood. We should not give up on our right to a revolutionary press for Pamela Anderson.
