Well, here is the question that divides a lot of the British far-left: how do you "united the Left?" Do you focus on building social movements from below and expect a new formation to come out that that new terrain over time (or for activists to flood to one of the existing organizations) or is the task at the moment the a new, united organization of revolutionary socialists and politically advanced workers as a prerequisite to meaningful political action (preventing the futile duplication of efforts and the alphabet soup of sects on the radical left)? From the standpoint of an activist in the States, I'd say that this question is pretty damn relevant for us as well.
