That of course was the view of those who left (or what I was told.) Those in
WW no doubt see it differently.

I was in ANSWER-LA when the split happened. Later joined PSL and was purged
a few years later, apparently for being insufficiently Marxist and
unappreciative of their Revealed Dogma. This would have been traumatic had I
still cared much (I was walking away from them anyway.) What pissed me off
was the way it was done, no explanation, and in a way that insured that any
existing friendships were vaporized.

FYI: I blog at Politics in the Zeros. http://polizeros.com, which is a mix
of leftie politics and cleantech.
