sect that would listen would be a reincarnation of the Leninist League of
the 30's.

Max Schactman,
"While definitely anti-gynaicocratic and taking no formal position on
exogamy or endogamy, it is based fundamentally on the primitive gens in so
far as one must be a blood relation of the immediate family, or at least
related to it by marriage, in order to qualify for membership. This has the
unfortunate effect of somewhat reducing the arena of recruitment, but it
does guarantee against contamination." pg. 153, fn. 273.
UfPJ, hardly a den of Likudniks, has a Tikkun rep on their National Steering Committee. Shun UfPJ? Do you amalgamate (common Trot jargon is amalgam) Left Zionists like Tikkun or Jewish Voices for Peace or Meretz w/ the heirs of the Stern Gang, Sharon and co.? Whose program, dismantle the settlements, withdraw to the '67 borders and negotiate seriously with the PA with an offer far more generous than that Barak bantustan plan for a, "Palestinian state, " like apartheid era http://www.israel-state- terrorism.org/CampDavidBantustans.html Bophuthatswana, that weould have been a totally a non-contiguous neo-colony, is the same as the non- rejectionist Palestinian leadership? That recognizes that this is not the era where the PLO was being trained by Stasi and Abu Nidal was killing PLO officials in Lebanon and Issam Sartawi at a Madrid congress of the Socialist International.
