Yeah, I knew that about the IMT. Interestingly, I wouldn't necessarily disagree with them about the necessity or usefulness of working within the British Labour Party. Kind of like trade unions, the Labour Party in the UK is at least a partial victory for the working class insofar as it was formed to promote independent working class political action. However, the IMT gets in wrong in that they try to export that perspective in every country that they work in, so you get in the United States an attempt to build a "labor party" as a reformist/halfway house-ish party as the strategy. This also, in my view, misreads the early history of the Labour Party as more left wing than it actually was, so they don't see that the Labour Party was a means to head off the creation of a Marxist party a la the SPD.

(Just saw that post, oops.)

Thanks, it's great to hear that I contribute something or another around here that people find useful, lol. I try to contribute to the discussion around here, it's a good forum in between the mass bannings. You're one of the better posters around here yourself.

Yeah, I'm a member of the Dutch CWI branch. The Americans come over to me as relaxed and committed comrades. I've never been to the states, so I can't say a lot first hand about the organisations' functioning.

The "revisionism" article comes from an ultra-left website.

I have no idea what those pics are for but hope it's fun.

Yeah, by all means do it. I'd be interested to hear about your experiences working with them.
