Doug, WSWS is also convinced of "the absolute political necessity of
building a revolutionary party of the working class independent of and
in opposition to the Chavez government" (at

Equality Party, the Spartacists, etc. -- are too marginal for me to
bother arguing against.   It's a waste of time.
