One wouldn't think so reading the "Socialist Review" from the British Section of
Cliffism. I spent the whole article wondering if they would mention this 
`detail'.
They didn't. While I am quite suspicious of what we hear all the time as "war
veterans", I am a hell of a lot more suspicious of the NYTimes, etc. and why 
they
deem it necessary for us to hate these people. The Cliffite thinkers would have 
me
believe the MDC is an organisation of workers, and that this is where radicals
*automatically* are.

It seems the waters are much muddier, and that one can start an understanding 
of the
dynamics here better through following the money. This magazine would have me 
believe
that because their are people who believe in socialism on the bottom of the MDC 
that
this will reverberate through the entire party. Of course, imperial motives for
funding the *neo-liberal* MDC are not mentioned.
