This recently came to my attention. It´s an article by a former Canadian supporter of the U.S. Socialist Workers Party, posted in 2014, arguing that the SWP changed its line on Israel (and de facto on Zionism) already in 2009. That is, before my heated argument with a SWP supporter on Amazon´s custom review pages circa 2012. Unless I´m completely confused over the exact date - could it have been in 2008 or early 2009?
The Canadian writer, Art Young, correctly predicts that the SWP´s line on Israel will become central to the group´s "degeneration" (or fundamental shift), which he sees as - at bottom - an "adaptation to US imperialism". Indeed, it seems that the SWP just the other week came out in full support of Israel´s war against Gaza, with arguments even somewhat "to the right" of the US establishment, if you read their articles carefully!
Clearly, I missed something...
