Re: [Marxism] Callinicos reacts to the NPA

Louis, how does this fit your own longstanding rules of moderation? If
you can call David a recovering sectarian, can I call you a petty
bourgeois incapable of organizational loyalty?
Now, as a sectarian who has not and will not recover, I think David's
right about the social movement orientation of the NPA. I'd go further
and call it centrist adaptationism but that might get me booted off
the list.
