Okay, maybe you have me on filter, or maybe you just don't want to respond,
but I'm stubborn enough to try again: The main point, as I took it,

 from the paragraph you quoted from St. Clair was that Trot groups are
largely detached from the struggles, politics, and concerns of most workers
and minorities. The coverup of rape and the unqualified support for that
coverup indicates, overwhelmingly, to me that St. Clair is right, and that
some Trots are not just amusingly irrelevant but dangerously and violently
so. This is the relevant point, not whether their ideology is stale and
anachronistic.

Can you argue against St. Clair on this point?
