I have little love for the Barnes cult in general, but this is a really bad
argument. An article on union organizing, is an article on union organizing,
and while other issues can indeed be brought up, any omissions are obviously
of an editorial nature. That the same issue includes commentary on
anti-imperialism should suffice.

I am weary of all these cheap sectarian jabs and figthing at ghosts etc. If
people have political differences, lets discuss them. But I have seen
nothing out of the Militant or the SWP that points in the direction they
support the war. They have been quite sectarian, and I would conduct my
politics quite diferently from them, but they are far from
social-imperialist.

Find something relevant to critique them on.
