None. Being real parties composed of real people and existing in the real world, they are inherently tainted, corrupted if you will, by that reality. If we choose to support them, even morally, we too shall become tainted. Our limbs may fall off.

Rather, we should return to the pristine moral universe of, say, a Silver Age Superman comic book, where good is good and evil is enough and the two never mix, except in the form of deception. :) For instance, take the villainous Composite Superman (http://nightwing.superman.ws/adventures/composite_p01.htm ). Much like Chavez, after having obtained the formidable might of the Legion of Super-Heroes, Composite Superman may LOOK like a hero and fool the unwary, but actually he is a blackhearted villain, to be exposed by the TRUE ever-vigilant heroism of Batman and his pal Pugliese, err, I mean Superman. Let this be a lesson to all of you! Learn from Superman! ;)

And don't forget the exciting story of Pugliese's first meeting with the Worker's World Party: http://superman.ws/tales4/lsv/
