Groups like the American SWP and the British SWP are consumed with the question of "revolutionary continuity", showing that they are the true successors of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky. Just read Tony Cliff on "Trotskyism after Trotsky" to get a feel for how important pedigree is: http://www.marxistsfr.org/archive/cliff/works/1999/trotism/ch06.htm I propose dumping this kind of junk, but my message is directed more to the young unaffiliated Marxists who read my blog or subscribe to Marxmail rather than members of such groups who would regard me as a "liquidationist" or worse. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
