Tom O’Lincoln, a member of Socialist Alternative in Australia,
graciously invited me to submit a critique to their magazine Marxist
Interventions of SA leader Mick Armstrong’s book From little things big
things grow: strategies for building revolutionary socialist
organizations. As many of you know, I regard groups such as Socialist
Alternative claiming to be based on “Leninist” principles fundamentally
mistaken on organizational questions. While I find little to differ with
the comrades on programmatically (except for the “Russian questions”), I
think that they are going about building a revolutionary party in the
wrong way. While most of my efforts over the years have been devoted to
reorienting their rivals on the Australian left, the Democratic
Socialist Perspective, I welcomed the chance to get a hearing in their
magazine, something the DSP has been averse to despite the polemic
against me in its own pages some years ago.
