The SP may not be as bad as the "Leninist" left, but it is still a 
sect. It obviously operates with the same small proprietor mentality 
as the Leninists. What is the goal of the SP? To lead the American 
people to socialism by becoming the majority party? Honestly, I don't 
think that any of these small groups do any harm. Many young people 
first find out about socialism from a Brian Moore speech or an 
article in the Militant.

But I must insist that a real revolutionary party is necessary and 
that another method is required than those of the SP and all the rest.
