On the one hand, Bustelo has argued over  the years for a non vanguardist,
more inclusive re-organization of the US  left - something that I completely
agree with. On the other hand, he relies  upon (and he's not the only one!)
the same heavy-handed sarcasm, disdain and  contempt that vanguardist
grouplets use against any opposition, whether  within or outside of their
ranks. Should such a non "Leninist" formation  arise and its leadership
employ such methods of discussion, it will  inevitably degenerate into the
holier-than-thou level of today's sects.  People who are new to the left 
will
leave - in a hurry.

I apologize  for the crack about the Prozac - it was late and I should've
slept on it. It  won't happen again.

Comment 
 
Concentrating on "what's wrong" rather than "who is wrong" is more  
interesting. Further, all individuals deviate on all issues to one degree or  
another, which is why discussion and debate takes place . . . . spanning  decades 
and years.
