Steve.

I didn't "dredge up statements from several years ago". I actually 
looked at your *program* Militant: Where we stand. In it, it is 
claimed that Militant are opposed to violent revolution, see 
socialism as coming through an "enabling bill in parliament backed by 
the labour movement" which will nationalise the top 200 hundred 
companies.

Real knowledge of Militant? What does this mean. You say one thing 
and do another? Workers are too stupid to understand your real agenda 
and so we must avoid dirty words like communism and pretend that we 
are social democrats? When do you let workers in on the secret?

This approach is patronising and undemocratic.
