This is wrong, Hugh. It is actually tiny Trotskyist groups that have a
parasitical relationship to the broad left. You folks are the kibitzers who
always show up at some conference and sit in the eleventh row of some panel
discussion. When called upon, you identify yourself as a representative of
the "Communist League of Revolutionary Workers" or something like that, and
launch into a tirade. Everybody starts looking at their watches after a
minute or two of your speech. You are not really there to have a
conversation with anybody, but look for recruits to your sect-cult. The
Spoons Lists served as a recruiting ground in this manner for four years or
so and now the host body is being taken away from all the parasites like
you. Rot in hell, you sectarian bastards.
