[Marxism] RE: IRSP Condemns SSP Support for Loyalism

["Calvin Broadbent" <calvinbroadbent@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
This is excellent, but is there any actualy harm doen in trying to win over
working class protestants to socialism whilst negelecting to discuss the
national question? Doesn't support for socialism actively discourage people
from supporting the divisive actions of the 6 county capitalist class?
