Reminded me of what I know and have been ignoring, of everything that has gone wrong and is beyond the pale with this countries revolutionary left. Ridiculous and indefensible stances resulting from following basic Marxist and Trotskyist dictats to their largely illogical conclusions. That and there are still too many on the Left who get a hard on when they see someone in a Keffiyeh carrying an AK47, irrespective of the politics of whoever is holding the rifle. I had many, many Kronstadt moments in the 90's (one every other week when I was a 'proper' activist). Good article.. on the whole... I'm still a lot more optomistic about the effect a Corbyn leadership will have on the wider political scene in this country.. To go back to some oldschool slogans of the left in the UK, 'Vote, but under no illusions' and 'unconditional but critical support'.
