How can you take a group seriously that has a cartoon called 'Bolshevik Bunny' or that sells T-shirts with the 'slogan' of "Petty Bourgeois Reformism Sucks"

I've read Petroni's ideas on imperialism etc. In my opinion they are basicly wrong and opportunisitic.

Petroni does not appear to appreciate the need to plan and the need to strengthen the ideas of party members. To be a revolutionary is not just about being on the streets.

The 'Left Party' are a tiny insignificant opportunistic sect made up of 'revolutionaries' and West Coast America liberal fluffs. It's not even worth your while going to their site (unless you want a laugh

Thank you friend(I shall not call you comrade or brother as such would probably be impolite and offend you),

I had not been going to check out the site, some american progressives more or less will not make much difference to my day, but when the site is put down by an anomymous poster to IMC Irl, on the grounds of a cartoon name and some long held prejudice I just had to check it out.......


How odd!!!.......they don't seem to be ex-swp, still ;-)
