>I suspect it deeply pains you to ever have to confess that Marxists, and

contributed anything productive to any movement, anywhere.
I have no problem giving the SWP full credit for a movement that, despite majority opposition to the war by mid-1968, was unable to stop the war for another five years, and in fact saw the war expand to Cambodia and Laos, including mass near-genocide bombings in Cambodia in 1973.
If that is the model of success promised by sectarian-led movements, then my opposition to the WWP is just further validated.
