No it doesn't.

The ultra-left doesn't participate in parliamentary elections and doesn't care which fraction of the bourgeoisie is supposed to be more progressive. Your claim that misinformed voters are ultra-leftists is complete and utter nonsense.

It doesn't have anything to do with putting organization over class interests, your remark was a swipe at political opponents and it had absolutely nothing to do with the thread whatsoever.

Why the serious grumpy face? Smile!

"I think the mistakes made were mostly after the second world war, when after the war the Military structure of the party which was needed for wartime made it hard for rank and file party members to throw out the revisionists and careerists."

I made similar remarks here:

I identify principally as a Marxist, but I hold a historical appreciation for Luxemburg and some areas of Trotskyism, especially in regards to entryism.

Specifically I suppose I was curious if you identified with the anti-revisionist school which seems to be so popular here. Regardless, I think you are one of the few posters here who has a material grasp on the realities of class struggle. Despite claiming to be materalists, I've always found many of the young people here derive their politics from some sort of moralistic idealism.

What ideological tendency to you identify with? I find myself in agreement with you in regards to proper *immediate* political praxis, but I have a suspicion we part ways past that.
