I am not sure I understand. Let me say this: I have no problems with participating in a demonstration where WWP is active. I do have problems in participating in a demonstration LED by Workers World Party.

Why? Well, why would some people have problems marching with a demonstration led by Pat Buchannon? Because they dont want to lend legitimacy to his larger program. And this is one reason why I dont want to march with WWP in the leadership.

The network model is best, but it has organizational weakenesses in this country (not in, say, Italy though) which you pointed out earlier.
