Yes. At this point in time I think that we should work to establish a clear revolutionary lternative and given the circumstances, work in the SP is pointless at this point in time.
Hey, Thusfar factually 2 members have been expelled from the party. However, working inside the party is practically impossible now and has to be done under secretive terms.
For Trotsky's views on calls for a workers party, see his notes to the American SWP. "A long period of confusion in the Comintern led many people to forget a very simple but absolutely irrevocable principle that a Marxist, a proletarian revolutionist, cannot present himself before the working class with two banners. He cannot say at a workers meeting: I have tickets for a first class party and other tickets cheaper for the stupid ones. If I am a Communist I must fight for the Communist Party."
re: your question on the slogan for a mass workers party. If the CWI called for a revolutionary workers party it would be difficult for them to attract the support of enemies of the working class like the head of the British prison guards "union."

March 20th, 2010. You can find information at www.ANSWERCoalition.org. Also, yes. Becker's book is probably one of the best accounts on the issue of Palestine and the struggle for the future I've ever read. Have you heard about his nationwide book tour? You can find information about the book and the tour at www.PalestineBook.com.
Thanks. Though I don't like to put it in sectarian terms, I've been kind of comparing how we did against the Socialist Workers Party (US), who only received a little over 1,000 votes. I think that shows, first of all, how powerful our message is compared to some other groups, but it also shows how active we are becoming. Villar's 3,500 votes is the most of any socialist candidate running for New York mayor for over 30 years, so we're very proud of how things turned out. We got a lot of coverage in primarily Spanish-speaking newspapers and we got a lot of support from the immigrant community. We're ramping up for the 2010 governor race in California, in which Carlos Alvarez is going for. Thanks for your support. Do you think you might be making it to Washington for the march on Washington next year?
You're switching back, comrade? The CWI's call for a "labour" party is a bourgeois workers party a la Labour. It isn't a PNNC like the pre-war SPD and inter-war USPD.
http://www.communistleague.us/ Do you know anything about this group? I have tried researching what they are about but their organization still perplexes me. Why do they have two parties, the CL and than the "public" Workers Party of America? Are they Trotskyist? I am just really confused about them...
Great. Hey, if you can make it to belgium next year we should met up. We did have plans for a revleft meeting last year but I didn't really happen. I met people anyway though
