Thank you for calling attention to this article. Trotsky famously said that ultra left sectarianism is just opportunism standing in fear of itself. In this case, it's not standing in fear of itself, it's more sectarianism being used to obscure the opportunism. Stripped of all the excuses, what Sankara is advocating in practice is to continue doing nothing but phone banking and canvassing for "Bernie", with maybe appearing at a few strike picket lines if workers are so foolish as to vote to strike in this period when electing "Bernie" is the only thing that matters.
