I did not intend that you were suggesting "unity at all cost". However, you did emphasize the importance of getting "bodies" there.
The "Unity at all cost" is an argument that groups like WWP use. Basically it is a cover for them to continue their opportunism . I am not saying you believe in "unity at all cost", however in the quest to get as many "bodies" (just get as many warm bodies there as possible) at the demo as possible, one could get sucked into this ploy.

Oh, I am not being anti-sectarian in this instance, but intentionally sectarian. Just as I wouldn't want the Nazis at the demonstration (just because they might be anti-Israeli in this situation), I really dont care to have a group that supports butchers as the WWP does.
