This is ABSOLUTELY wrong. I dont know whether Jim and Yoshie are naive or dissimulating. Party-building is a primary task for any Leninist party. Where is the party to recruit: among trade-unions and mass-organizations (like ANSWER). They go into or create mass organizations with a view to building up their parties influence among the masses as well as recruiting new members for their party.
Now any honest Leninist would admit to this. The view is "what is good for the party is good for the masses".
So, the WWP through ANSWER is working toward hardcore Leninist aims. Of course, I OPPOSE those aims, and you and Yoshie DONT, but that is nonetheless the system.
