I would ask you to moderate yourself in the tone of what sounds to me like an attack on Tony Cliff. In terms of political practice I have long personally had reservations about the UK SWP but I have found Adam's contributions thoughtful and usually constructive. I really don't want to listen to a long exchange with Adam saying how great Tony Cliff is and you saying how hopeless he is. This l*st is a very strange place, a forum populated by people from all different tendencies. If it is a war of each against all, we will get nowhere. We have to have an assumption that while our favoured point of view was mainly right, it is possible that none of us, and none of our heroes, (and heroines?) was completely right. Or to put it another way, everyone was at least partly wrong. But then I have finally succumbed today and bought two books by Trotsky and two books by Trotskyists. Take care, Chris London. --- from list marxism-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu --- ------------------
