Re: [Marxism] The "Social-Imperialist Workers Party" sinks to a new low

[Walter Lippmann <walterlx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's not helpful to use terms like "Social-Imperialist Workers Party"
to describe the Socialist Workers Party. The group is clearly moving to
the political right. Their attacks on George Galloway vilifying him as
pro-imperialist, on Michael Moore's FAHRENHEIT 9/11, which they
called pro-war, and their echoing of the ultra-right militants in the
Cuban exile world who said that the rescue of Elian Gonzalez was a
"violation of the democratic rights of the working class" demonstrated
the rightward direction of the organization.

But using such terms as "Social-Imperialist", however good they may
make the user feel, obscures and doesn't clarify the politics involved.
That's why such terms aren't helpful in discussing the evolution of the
Socialist Workers Party of the United States of America.
