It's true that Camejo knows how to turn a phrase. I fondly recall 
his demolishing the ideal of the supply/demand curve as evidenced 
by the "stagflation" of the Carter era (high unemployment and high 
prices). After drawing a diagram on the board he looked at it 
briefly and then said whereas communism was always criticized for 
looking good on paper but not working in practice, capitalism 
doesn't even work on paper. By comparison, on the one occasion I 
heard Jack Barnes speak I came away with the distinct feeling that 
the SWP had purged the wrong person.
