I know we all speed read, but this is a bizarre and baseless interpretation of my letter. Nor do I wish to imply that radical forces should have supported Jospin blindly. I note the interesting comments from Jean-Christophe [on LBO-talk] about the strength of left campaigning groups. My criticisms are directed at small sectarian parties who just aim to take 5% of the vote without apparently addressing the question of the overall result, and presumably claim that is some contribution to revolutionary politics. And to muddle up Stalin with Dimitrov! Chris Burford
