I don't know if the above statement represents the views of the PSL. In any event, it is a prime example of the left sectarianism that prevents microvanguards from getting anywhere. The bulk of members of trade unions in the U.S., and many other places, may well support "reformation of the existing capitalist/imperialist" and favor "working within one of the political parties that helped form this same system." So what. Should socialists refrain from joining unions and participating in their struggles? What Roger wrote goes beyond the anti-trade union lunacy of the Socialist Equality Party. It is essential that socialists participate in"reformist" organizations of many types. That some socialists disagree with that approach is their problem, not the problem of the "deluded" masses. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
