That said, it's _possible_ that some of the stuff that he said about
the skateboard and the sexual abuse (and the response to it) actually
happened. After all, no group, no matter how top-down in organization,
is totally monolithic: there are local variations and differences
among members. My mom told me I couldn't have a skateboard: she found
that telling me that they were "unsafe" wasn't enough and had to bring
in the bull. It's possible that the author's mom did the same, with
different bull.

The issue is not whether there was abuse. It was whether an SWP official would shrug it off with the observation that “Under capitalism, everyone has problems.”
