I rather doubt that ANSWER organizers, full-time or part-time, are working toward "hardcore Leninist" ends. _The_ Leninist end is to work toward socialism, but the sort of anti-war coalition building and mobilizing that IAC and ANSWER make possible comes with the price of never being able to put socialism even obliquely (not to mention squarely) on the agenda. That's not the problem unique to WW or other Leninists. It's been a perennial problem of American socialists in general. American socialists of various political dispositions have done a pretty good job helping build various social movements -- civil rights, anti-war, etc. -- but their good work has never really helped them to massively expand their own explicitly socialist organizations independent of Democrats and other liberals. -- Yoshie
