An ahistorical, absolutist statement if I ever heard one.

Just in case you haven't noticed (even if I do have some points of
contention with Nestor, and in particular find he exagerated on his attack
upon you), the only people in Latin America *today* who bring about in
*practical terms* the above statement, are either ultra-ultra ortotrot
parachutists or traitor cults like Venezuela's infamous Bandera Roja.

Chavez's government, for example, is the very definition of a Popular Front.

And any leftist who in the current situation belives that "Chavez has to go"
deserves, to quote Trotsky Himself, "to be branded with infamy, if not a
bullet".

Sure, some day the working class world-wide will rise is revolution and
establish the dictatorship of the proletariat. Of this I have no doubt. But
not just now, unfortunately.
