    I know that Chris Brennan left, but did he take people with him?

    I don't think it was a "split". I think he just left.

    I wonder if someone of the SPEW could enlighten us?

    Q: I am glad to hear it -- but my money is on there being one some day -- it's about the only thing us Trots are good at.

    See how this starts? Someone yells "fire!" and all fall for it and panic.

    Anything you're basing this on, or are you just playing Nostradamus here?

    More effort should go into trying to unite those of us who at least broadly agree on what defines Marxism ("Trotskyism") and how we should proceed strategically. We should all of course be open to some form of compromise.

    Given your latest reply here this seems a rather contradictory position. What is it: should we all concede with the IMT's awe and join your ranks or are you genuinely open for debate?

    Can't we all just be friends?

    Sadly, I think not. But for serious reasons, I mean it was impossible for the IMT and CWI groups to join when IMT still worked under entryism in labour but now it doesn't who knows. I suppose its natural for other groups to hate each other cos we're the 'will of the workers' or something like that
