I was just browsing the Internet for links on my "total" organizational role model (http://www.revleft.com/vb/uspd-vs-kpd-t103415/index.html), and I was pleasantly surprised to find this comment:

Taaffe claims the bureaucratisation, growth of revisionism and gradualism within the SPD is “something similar” to what has occurred in the Labour Party over the past few decades. A desperate attempt to excuse his group’s past auto-Labourism, and provide cover for the call to set up a Labour Party mark two. Bizarrely, he goes on to lambast the USPD for having a “halfway house political position, sometimes using very radical, ‘revolutionary’ phraseology”, and for being “passive in deeds, refusing to go the whole way in the struggle against capitalism”. In reality the USPD was way to the left of Taaffe and his Socialist Party.

Thoughts?

I don't know Jacob, it's all so interesting I don't really know what to say.
