The left is split on this issue, and there are other issues as well. Ukraine vs Russia, Identity vs class struggle politics, China vs Taiwan, etc. So the question is what kind of organization can unite a disparate left on topics where we agree rather than seeking complete programmatic unity? You mentioned James P. Cannon in an earlier note, Marv. I read a great deal of what he wrote and spoke. But the party he played such a big role in building rotted from the inside. National secretaries lasted a long time in the party that Cannon built: Cannon for about 15 years; Dobbs for 19 years; Barnes for over half a century. He build a party that favored entrenched leadership and an internal political discipline that spun off dissident factions.
