UPDATE: SF’s New Dissidents
Middle Class Taig (#4) articulates a point also made elsewhere by Malachi O Doherty (#23) and Pat McLarnon has expressed similar sentiments on a variety of threads, i.e., a lack of sympathy for new “dissidents” because where did they think this was all going, anyway? MCT writes: “Did the people currently dissenting within SF not realise that this nettle was always going to have to be grasped? The strategy of get everything you can before holding your nose and jumping ultimately requires a leap.”
