@HeerJeet Laurie Penny's piece also excellent. I can't grasp people in 2011 deferring to central committee, party discipline, all that...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@HeerJeet these tightly-wound parties are basically cults, with the usual sexual perks for the leaders, who are always male. No news here!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@HeerJeet I thought we were all through with that in the 70s! Prog Labor Party, Weatherman, etc. Different politics, same story. -
@KathaPollitt Yeah. SWP has some really good people so this is a shame BUT idea of a Leninist party seems crazily out-dated.
