Antiwar movement procustean bed

[Max Sawicky]

If it's to get anywhere, the rational left
has to operate separately from the WWP types.
Find enough people w/shared agreement on
something constructive and then just do it.
Don't have open meetings and award
equal voting rights to every ditz who walks
in.  You'll always be outvoted, or your meet
will be disrupted.

This does not mean excluding communists, since
I expect there are some who would be valuable
coalition partners.  But it does mean excluding
the ones who end up excluding everyone else,
given half a chance.

Carl, I dont know what your background is, but I
totally disagree with this.  The problem in a lot of
cases (and this dates back to my first political
involvements as a student during the anti-apartheid
movement here in the US) these vanguardist groups
will keep the Principles of Unity at a level that
allows them to stay in charge of the movement. 
Whenever anybody raises objections, the whining
vanguard butt-whipes yell, "Sectarian"..
