    As far as I can tell, they published this article out of their own accord. Not that I personally mind, nor can I imagine other members would, but I am worried that it seems to suggest an organizational link between our groups. I will turn the comrades' attention to this. Thank you.

    I'm afraid I'm not aware of that, or don't remember at least. Do you have more info? Maybe links?

    Are you talking about to Argentinian PO's International? One of our members was in it but none of the others. He wrote about it, if you're interested and I get his OK I can send you his account of that experience.

    Well the anti-sectarianism is implied

    Our position was that revolutionaries had to intervene in the strike, as many of the demands raised were correct, and meanwhile fight against the chauvinism that accompanied it. We felt that all the left groups we knew of (except for our comrades in the LRP) were either being sectarian by abstaining from the strike due to the chauvinism or opportunist by participating in the strike and downplaying the nationalist sentiments. If you want, you can send me your e-mail address and I will send you an article on the subject by a comrade.

    Have you read Trotsky's advice to the American SWP on a U.S. Labor Party and Labor parties in general? "Must we join that 'Labor Party' or remain outside? This is no more a question of principle, but of circumstances and possibilities. [my emphasis] The question itself has arisen from the experience of the British Communists and the 'Labor Party,' and that experience has served far more the 'Labor Party' than the Communists." Nowhere is there any hint of a general "principle" of the need to vote for or otherwise support class traitors -- quite the opposite.

    Out of interest, where does the quote in your sig come from? I've noticed that apart from being a brilliant revolutionary, so many of Trotsky's quotes are beautiful and moving. One of my favourites is the one that goes something like..."I can see the sunshine through the open window..life is beautiful, let us cleanse it of oppression and enjoy it to the full"

    Yes, we do share their state capitalist analysis. In fact, it was our reason for completely breaking with IMT politics and adopting revolutionary positions on other questions, Palestine included. I think you would do well to reexamine that position, especially through reading the LRP's book on the question.

About Lenny Nista

Basic Information

Life is not an easy matter... You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above personal misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness.
Leon Trotsky
