Do Marxist groups clown and posture?

by Dave Riley

Bob Morris at Politics in the Zeroes has been sharing a few thoughts about his recent enforced exit form one of the smaller far left outfits in the United States.
The headers, I guess, suggest the drift -- so I recommend the discussion, if only because I couldn't help myself in situ and invested some long winded contributions to it.Usually I have to put up with slander and abuse as I seem to have inherited my own personal trolls within the body politick of the OZ far left. (Take this discussion thread for an example of the level of polemics & personal slander that passes as the industry standard here in Australia.)

This is a good discussion -- I think --- as web discussions go on this particular topic. But the starting point is a quote form Lenin which is my fav as well as contribution drawn from Peter Camejo ( of the US Green Party)and our own, very lovely, Democratic Socialist Perspective.
