No queremos ayuda.  Con que dejen de jodernos es suficiente. Rosa Luxemburg: 
The most revolutionary thing one can do is always to proclaim loudly what is 
happening. Robert Brockway: “So the new GOP talking point is ‘the death toll 
might be as low as 1%. We should sacrifice the 1% for a working economy.’ I 
agree. Let’s talk about which 1%.”

 I wrote a long autobiographical response to Alan's 2011 comments reflecting on 
my own SWP experiences (1969 - 1982/3) and my twenty-five years of post-SWP 
experience frequently working with Peter Camejo (1983 - 2008).  It is posted on 
the Solidarity website:

"By late August I was looking forward to functioning as ‘organizer’ of the 
relatively large and confident Logan YSA when I was unhappily bludgeoned by 
telephone calls from YSA regional organizer Steve Bloom and from Dave Frankel 
in the national office in NYC." 
 
 
I had been in the YSA for about 6 months when I joined comrades selling the 
Young Socialist at the Stop the Draft Week protests in NYC in 1967. As someone 
new to hawking newspapers, I was probably not as aggressive as more experienced 
members but little did I expect to get a kind of judo chop on the back of my 
neck from Dave Frankel. He said, "Sell, comrade, sell."  Of all the assholes I 
ran into in the Trotskyist movement, this guy was the worst. He was so 
obnoxious that he wasn't even allowed into the inner sanctum in NYC grouped 
around Charlie Bolduc, the SWP organizer. I heard that Bolduc, a closeted gay, 
drank himself to death after quitting the SWP. As for Frankel, I've never found 
a single reference to him on the net. I wouldn't be surprised that he became a 
real estate salesman after dropping out.
