    With all due respect, I don't think so. I came from an              
    internationalist school of Marxism that basically says
    that "looking from outside and afar makes you a better
    chess player"  (You're trotskyist Adam, gues who wrote
    that.

    I do accept however that you or DW have more information
    and facts that should provide us to discuss the issue.  In
    spite of my multiple efforts to get those facts from you,
    I'm still waiting.

    Why is that the SWP couldn't foresee the changes in the
    LP that made possible even the idea of an SLP?  Why is
    that is so much resistance from the SWP to work, not
    just in unity in action, but in united workers front or
    in a revolutionary united front with other revolutionary
    Marxists tendencies such as Militant? 

    When I raised the question of your growth you responded
    that was possible for prolonged period of times a linear
    process of growth until the situation become revolutionary,
    or that is what I understood.  Believe me, your organization
    will never lead a revolutionary process if it doesn't train
    itself to the convulsive growth of those few instants of
    historical upheavals.

    Why should be Scargill, and not The Militant and the SWP who
    will launch the idea of the SLP is they are more important than
    what Scargill represents?  Moreover, how the SWP or MIlitant
    will be able to attract millions of workers under their banners
    (millions who don't even share as much as those two tendencies
    share -- ideologically and politically) if they cannot find a
    road to work together?

    Comradely.
