I dont know much about the history of the WWP, but it seems to me altogether possible that their "activistism" might be a reaction to parts of the US left that did engage in theoretical work and ended up doing a lot of bickering.

Well, I would agree with that. It seems like they (and they are not alone...a lot of activists are like this) live from demonstration to demonstration, like junkies awaiting their next fix.

The reason the anti-war movement fell in behind ANSWER was precisely due to its (the anti-war movement) theoretical disorientation. And who could blame them? Immediately after September 11th any reasonable activist in this country would have been disorientated and unsure of what to do. It was at that point that WWP/IAC/ANSWER could and did fill the void for better or worse.
