Do you also believe that the resistance is reactionary? Do you have any 
opinion on the quote from Trotsky about the need to have supported the 
Rif movement in Morocco? Was Abd El Krim any more a revolutionary than 
those who resist the occupation of Iraq? Was Haile Selassie? Chiang 
Kai-shek? Marxists support anti-colonial resistance *no matter the 
character of the leadership*. This is something that the SWP I joined in 
1967 understood. This new formation, which has only the name in common 
with the one I joined, does not.
