As much as I don't like Corn and his liberal politics, this article is 
greatly needed because Corn is an established writer and LA Weekly is a high 
circulation alternative newsweekly. The question becomes: why d we have to 
wait for people like Corn to write these articles? The Left infuriates me 
sometimes because it will engage in debate on every issue under the sun 
except criticism about groups in the movement. I really appreciate that 
writers like Liza have included criticism of ANSWER and the WWP in her 
articles. The involvement of the WWP IS newsworthy because of the problems 
many activists have with the WWP.

the world today are anarchists, who are busily
undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is
still trying to form committees."
