[Marxism] SWP abstention from the antiwar movement

[Dbachmozart@xxxxxxx]

It was the SWP that played the central  role in keeping the anti Vietnam war
movement in the streets. It was the SWP  that politically fought against
abstention by the ultralefts and being co-opted  by the Democrats. This was
acknowledged by our allies, political opponents, and  even the FBI and was the 
reason
for our growth in numbers, influence and  respect. As an illustration of how
far they have drifted, at the August march in  NYC where half a million people
expressed their hatred of this war, the only  sign of the SWP was a small
literature table on a side street !! Who cares about  their editorials calling
for out now? Talk is cheap - show me what they're doing  to build a mass
movement against an imperialist war. Read Fred Halstead's OUT  NOW ! and you'll
understand what they should be doing, but  aren't.
