By "lesser evilism" I assume you mean the struggle to defeat the most dangerous section of the ruling class: the Bush administration -- the people who want "usable nukes," have declared all out war on workers, women, Black people, Latinos, gays, children, the sick, the environment, Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, and who knows who else is next.
>instead of working to built an independent
> socialist alternative?
These things are not an either or situation. In fact to have a legitimate socialist alternative that millions (not just a few dozen here or there or even hundreds in a country of 300 million) can get on board with, I think we all have to be fighting on the most immediate issues. Right now that is the fight to send Bush home.
Sitting out this one is bad for anyone who calls themselves a socialist or communist.
