Look, you're the one who's posited single general scenario here. I'm just pointing out that the movement takes and will take many twists and turns, in which the formation of a party or parties may or may not be essential. Workers launching a new party of their own might not decide to call themselves "socialist" for any of half a dozen major reasons. We should react on the basis of its ideas and not its label. And it's unclear to me what a socialist party can do that a coalition or front of groups can't do....but that's why I've asked you the question....
