Way back in the 1970's, I was in the Workers League (which has since morphed into the Socialist Equity Party and the World-Wide Socialist Web.) At the time, it was part of The International Committee of the Fourth International which was essentially a franchise organization run out of the British Workers Revolutionary Party (although it may have still been called the Socialist Labor League) run by a crazed little man named Gerry Healy. The Workers League had gathered up as many of its American flock as it could to fly them over to England to provide international extras for the casting of one of Healy's big conferences. Healy liked to get up in front of crowds and harangue them. The SLL/WRP had just had a split with a group led by a guy named Alan Thornet. Thornett's supporters were handing out leaflets in front of the venue to all who were entering the place. Inside the door, a team of WRP cadre led by Healy lieutenant Mike Banda was collecting leaflets from all those who walked through the door with one in their hands. I didn't leave the Workers League immediately, but I knew I was on my way out the door when that happened.
