While this is true, the number of dual members is dropping. A lot of
us were pretty disappointed with the utterly reformist, economist
politics of Solidarity, even from its left wing. Solidarity is a
rotten cess pool which has somehow convinced everyone it's hot tub.

In actuality, there isn't a special relationship between Solidarity
and the SP. The SPUSA only bans dual membership in democratic
centralist organizations and SDUSA. I'm in both the SPUSA and the
Kasama Project, for example. We're also discussing lifting the blanket
ban on dual membership in DC organizations.
