Both in general, and for this in particular:
"... those who support, directly or indirectly, butchers like Assad and
Putin should be shunned."
(This would mean, by the way, shunning Socialist Action... )

Shunning is problematic.
I don't think that Syria can be a litmus test for left unity even though
the positions adopted, for example, by the Alan Woods sect are ghastly.
For example, if there was a protest against fascists in Britain, you can
expect this sect, CounterFire, and other pro-Russian leftists to be
involved in the organizing. It, of course, is their contradiction that
the fascists are likely to agree more with Alan Woods than with them on
Putin.
