Spartacism sui generis

So what is the Spartacist League doing these days? Well, I had a look. They have joined a "united front campaign" called "Movement for Kshama" in California, endorsing the independent socialist campaign of Kshama Sawant, leader of the Revolutionary Workers organization.

There is just one problem.

Kshama Sawant actually condemned the "Movement for Kshama". The reason? It consists of a breakaway faction from her own organization, called Labor Militant (sic), plus some fringe groups such as our dear friends of Spartacist. In other words, it´s a somewhat peculiar example of entryism. Or at least political mimicry.

It´s also rather funny that the Sparts call this a "united front". Yeah, whatever. So the post-Robertson Spartacist League has simply decided to be sectarian in alliance with other sectarian groups, rather than being sectarian on their own. Or, I suppose, being sectarian with Kshama Sawant...

Next question!
