It boggles the mind that you could be a member of Solidarity not once 
but twice and still not understand that Solidarity is not a Democratic 
Centralist organization, that individual members are free to hold 
opinions and share them in public, that other members are not 
responsible for the entire list of opinions held by other members in the 
group - and so on.

As far as Against the Current goes, this is what it says on the webpage:
"Against the Current is our bi-monthly analytical journal. As part of 
our larger project of regroupment and dialogue within the U.S. Left, the 
journal presents varying points of view on a wide variety of issues. As 
such, debates are frequent and informative, with the goal of promoting 
discussion among activists, organizers, and scholars on the Left."
