That might be true, but in both instances you have 3 elements:

1. A bourgeois government fighting imperialism, fascist in one instance 
and British in the other.

2. Imperialism itself.

3. Revolutionary forces opposed to both imperialism and the native 
bourgeoisie.

Like the Stalintern, you regard #3 as an obstacle to the unity of the 
people's struggle. I am afraid that in your knee-jerk defense of any 
government in a struggle with imperialism, you have lost track of what 
it is we are trying to do, namely build a worldwide movement of 
revolutionary socialism.

I posted an excerpt from the ISO's analysis of the situation in Zimbabwe 
yesterday. I am interested in developing fraternal relationships with 
such groups, not the homophobic, paternalistic, bourgeois-nationalist 
ZANU-PF.

I am totally opposed to imperialist sanctions and imperialist invasions, 
but that's about as far as it goes with Zimbabwe.
