From: Gary MacLennanTo: marxism-international Subject: Re: M-I: Reformism or sectarianism ? (Ben replies to Louis Proyect) Date: Tuesday, April 07, 1998 10:14 PM I agree with Ken and Lou on this one and that will cause no surprise. For me it all depends on what context both spatial and temporal that one is in. My own experience of the Communist Leage, the SWP later DSP and the International Socialists is that abstract questions such as reform versus revolution are posed mainly to advance the careers of a handful of sect bureaucrats. Having said that I believe that we will reach a time and a place where the revolutionary transformation of society will be on the agenda and then we can revisit the old debates with some relevance. BTW Ken what in the name of Jeezuss is happening to the wharfies are they just going to lie down and take the sackings? regards Gary --- from list marxism-international@lists.village.virginia.edu ---
