[Marxism] Cuba: the litmus test?

[David Walters <dave.walters@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Walter, as part of a larger polemic wrote: 
"As to the British SWP I have a good deal
less knowledge, so to me their hostility toward Cuba carries more weight.
Galloway represents a good deal less organizationally than they do, but
he's pro-Cuba, which is why my instinctive preference is for him over the
anti-Cuba tendency represented by the SWP of the United Kingdom."

I have to ask "what anti-Cuba tendency"???? You know, Walter, if in fact the UK 
SWP and/or
Galloway actually made Cuba the center of their politics (like the pro-SWP 
group there does, 
the Communist League) then your "instincts" might actually mean something. To 
the degree that 
both currents (Galloway and UK SWP) underplay the issue at all would make me 
think that this is
MORE important to you than their occasional doodle on the issue. But it's 
not...it their abstract
nearly irrelevant positions on something they can have no influence on that 
concerns you.

David
