Cole's rant is of course misguided and mistaken - the latter, however, with regard to this particular incident recounted by Popper. By coincidence I've been re-reading a speech by Trotsky about the third Comintern congress. There -- and elsewhere - he -- and others - lambaste the German CP for doing exactly what Cole decries. I.e., with their lunatic theory of the offensive, encouraged by some Comintern reps, they had convinced some CP members to try to physically stop workers from going to work in plants where the majority had no interest in striking or even awareness of why they should. Trotsky says this in the context of explaining that the united front, in contrast, meant patient and prolonged education.
