[Marxism] those forces should have approached the SWP to form a common

[Anthony Boynton]

Luko Williams seems to know only the part of US
History promoted by the old Socialist Workers Party.
In 1967 the Peace and freedom Party was formed uniting
the Black Panther Party, various Maoists,
Shactmanites, and evntually the Communist Party USA
(which jioned only to sabotage the effort). The party
was socialist, committed to immediate withdrawl, and
supportive of the black struggle. Panthers were among
its main candidates.

The SWP was invited to join.

It declined in line with its sectarian and opportunist
politics which Luko continues to this day.

Well, if you could find other forces outside of the
SWP who were 
prepared to campaign on the basis of sticking to mass
mobilisations and 
immediate and unconditional withdrawal of the US
military from Vietnam, 
then those forces should have approached the SWP to
form a common 
electoral platform. Have such forces existed? I don't
know of any. 

  To repeat, the mass demonstration in the street
carries in itself the 
growing over into an insurrection to take power. And
the demand for 
immediate and unconditional withdrawal of the empire's
armed forces from 
a war theater is the beginning of the disarming of the
enemy class.
