Glad you brought up these two examples, Chuck, since the funny thing about this debate is that on SPECIFIC STRATEGIES by organizations, me and you have slagged each other harder at times than almost any other debates. We massively disagree on whether Black Bloc-tyle tactics or tactical work in Democratic primaries are the best solution, but we don't take criticism of such tactics as some kind of verboten topic that may not even be discussed.
But mention undemocratic coalition-building by the WWP and suddenly "redbaiting" is screamed. All discussion must end. You are dividing the movement to even talk about it. Blah, blah, blah.
