Note that N is engaging in name-calling. I've said it before, but "sectarianism" (which often involves such name-calling) is not unique to the Left (ultra or otherwise). Not only does the Right get into sectarianism, but the middle does too. I remember this "middle of the road" sectarian group which took over the old Socialist Party-USA during the early 1970s, leading the group to support the Vietnam war, Israel, and the whole AFL-CIO & [New York City] United Federation of Teachers party "line." They used all the usual sectarian techniques, split the SPUSA, and drove a lot of people (including yours truly) out of the group. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
