[Marxism] The DSP's fresh approach to applying democraticcentralism

[Michael Karadjis]

This is quite a strange contribution Bob. Maybe you ought to re-read
Richard's post before getting so worked up. He talks about the DSP's
overall long-term role, its educational work, Green Left Weekly, its
role in international solidarity, and how even its ex-members exhibit
its long-term overall role. None of this has any relation to the current
majority or minority in the DSP. He mentions for example the ex-members
the Jorquera brothers, who were in the current DSP minority before
leaving; he even mentions for christs sake ex-members Dave Deutschmann
and Deb Schnookal as evidence of the DSP's role; they were part of a
somewhat different minority about 25 years ago! Chill.
