There will ALWAYS be Weatherman groups. There will ALWAYS be Ward Churchills. There will ALWAYS be Michael Puglieses. There will ALWAYS be Sparacist factions. There will ALWAYS be Nathan Newmans. There will ALWAYS be SLAs. There will ALWAYS be provocateurs. There will ALWAYS be Bob Avakians. There will ALWAYS be Michael Dawsons. There will ALWAYS be worse things than any of these. Get used to it or get out of the kitchen. It's simply the terrain that leftists or left organizations have to operate on, and it is silly to caterwaul about it. If a left can't operate on that kind of terrain (or worse) than a left or even an imitation left can't operate, period.
