Hi Bob,

If you dont support the use of united front committees as a political form
through which the revolutionary party or group strives to form and develop
political relationships with the masses and even petty bourgeois elements
towards winning them over to both revolutionary politics and party this is
to narrow down opportunities for developing the revolutionary party.

Surely it is ultra-left to simply confine, as you seem to, oneself to
building up a party in some abstract way independent of any political
currents that are developing.

Even in terms of activity within the trade union movement it is necessary to
form united front committees (rank and file committees) with the radical
elements within the unions.How otherwise can the trade unions be transformed
into communist ones.

Greetings
Bob
