No, dear Chuckles, please *do* take issue. I'm interested to see what bizarre revisionist light you can shed on that decade.
After all, it is sort of consensus among most people who lived through it that the SWP was the driving force behind the period's mass anti-war protests. Not the only force, mind your, nor the majority force. Merely the backbone. This is a relatively uncontroversial assertion.
I suspect it deeply pains you to ever have to confess that Marxists, and that dreaded sub-group, the "authoritarian" (gasp!) Leninists have ever contributed anything productive to any movement, anywhere.
