Or to paraphrase Kissinger on Chile, "we won't let a country go capitalist due to the irresponsibility of its people"

Kissinger, WWP - they are both the same in favoring tanks and coups when the people need to be suppressed in favor of one's favored ideology.

The essential anti-democratic ideology of the WWP is what makes them essentially outside any democratic socialist camp of activists.
