International Trotskyist Labor Tendency
« Reply #3 on: July 21, 2004, 07:45:18 PM »

I figured since you have decided to make us the topic of discussion again that we come on here to defend ourselves.  First off we left WIL because of the Tactical bankruptcy of your organization here's some historical observations of basically where you guys bungled things in England these observations are mainly made by The Workers Front Organization (WFO) our English section.

"Recently the discussion of how to properly work within the Labor Movement in Britain came up. In the 1990's after Ted Grant and Alan Woods were expelled from The Committee For a Workers International (CWI) they choose to practice Enterism and remain in The Labour Party mainly out of desperation but not cause it was a worked out tactic. They were tactically bankrupt during this period just as they are tactically bankrupt now in the face of New Labour and Blair which dominates the Labour Party. During the same time The CWI led by Peter Taaffe choose to leave the LP altogether calling it a capitalist party. The problem with such a decleration is that it wasn't a capitalist party so long as a militant wing was maintainnad. Complete abandonment of the LP was the wrong manuever during this period. Neither The CWI or The Grantist Socialist Appeal Tendency could seem to adopt the correct tactic.

On tasks of the Youth Leagues as well as letter to the student paper both by Lenin. Lenin cites clearly that the proper method of party building was to form Youth Leagues to train and prepare cadres to be the future defenders of Communism. Further in party building applications we can say that this can be used to train future cadres to join the organization.

Later on it was Leon Trotsky who had called for Enterism into the Labour Party i'm sure Trotsky saw that this was important work. I think however what Trotsky did not realize is that his so called adherents would abandon Leninism altogether at least in the tactical sense. Many will argue tactics are not principles but really they are when you get right down to it a leader that cannot come up with effective manuevers to lead his armies to victory is not an effective leader at all. I guess the point i'm trying to make is that had either Peter Taaffe and The CWI or The Grantites combined the Leninist Method of Party Building with Trotskys enterism in practical application. Basically they should have been creating Youth Leagues outside the LP to train cadres on to later enter the LP so that rather then having a faction of 100 members inside the LP like Grant does these days he'd have more like 500 disciplined and militant cadres ready to too challenge Blair and New Labor. Such a struggle would have probably split the entire LP into 2 major camps and then his faction could have potentially run off with the majority of the LP while New Labour might have been forced out of the party. Instead however the failure to adopt Lenins methods for party building left The Grant Organization completely and totally bankrupt in the face of New Labour. I think its safe to say that the Socialist Appeal Tendency has betrayed the working class and its own cadres with a miserable and tactically inept leadership which has failed to lead principled forces into struggle for control of The Labour Party.

On the way forward i think a combination of not only Trotskyism with Leninism is the way forward. Thats why we call for Light Enterism a combination of both Youth Leagues and Enterism is Light Enterism as well it involves maintainning a formal organization that also maintains a faction inside the Labour Party."

Yes i know it has grammer errors get a life. BTW to add to this Light Enterism also means maintainning a formal organization apparatus and name unlike whats currently going on with Grant Enterism.

Since you love discussing our comrade Martinez's articles so much here's another one

Economic booms and wartime plunder
By Sidney Martinez

In our last article we predicted an economic boom in San Diego due to many shifts in the tech sector. We also stated that the boom would not be confined to just San Diego. What we didn't take into account was the large import and export industry on the entire West Coast but mainly California. Also what’s unique about California is that it’s home to numerous armed services. As bigger incentives for technology were given out and San Diego started growing as the newest “Silicon Valley” in California. This has stimulated massive growth in retail as we predicted not only in San Diego but also throughout the entire state of California. CNN recently reported that retail was up by 20%. A growth in tech has also lead to a growth in import and export industry as the real estate industry is now up by almost 20% as well according to CNN.

Still we have yet to reach the stage of a lack of skilled workers as tons are now descending on California to fill the skilled jobs now opening up in technology. As this rapid expansion continues however we are watching more and more small businesses close their doors especially in suburban area's where Walmarts, Targets, and Starbucks galore are springing up like weeds in a garden. The vacation and hospitality industry is also on the rise as well one need only visit local attractions to see this trend on top of the fact that this is the summer vacation period for many people.

Infinite expansion of Capitalism?

While the constant boom in California is realized the obvious point many bourgeois economists will attempt to point to is that nothing can stop this boom. Unfortunately these economists are for the most part self-serving or they fail to take into account that there is no such thing as infinite expansion. One of the major monkey wrenches thrown into the cogs of the California economic boom is a shortage of cement. According to Newsweek supplies of cement to the West Coast are now being tied up in China, this is due to the ships being stuck by harbor congestion. The congestion is caused from the current burst of growth taking place in China. So now the Chinese port cities housing industry is now in direct competition for resources with U.S. Domestic Capitalists. China is choking off of their cement supplies, which sets the stage for trade wars with China.

Immediately however this shortage of cement supplies has not slowed down real estate but in the near future fluctuations in real estate will begin to show. For now the current cycle will continue to cause retail to boom even when signs of a slowdown begin to show themselves. In a period of expansion right on through towards depression the interests of Capitalists are to get workers to spend and spend some more. Consumer mentality in America leads to the conservative nature of the American working class. Lenin cited that at the highest stages of capitalism the upper strata of workers would be bribed. Following this to a higher dialectic so to will the lower strata of workers as well with capitalist bribery coming in the form of cheap consumer products. Another form of extortion to the lower strata of workers is that increased salaries will silence them and more jobs will become open to them. A good example is when law firms hire more lawyers (skilled workers or higher strata of the working class) and begin employing much more paralegals (lower strata of the working class). If not contracting more paralegals then paying more to keep them happy. Besides keeping them satisfied by the table scraps they are given, more workers or more trained employees will increase or enhance production thus making more money for the company. Economically the expansion of skilled workers provides for an expanding need for unskilled workers to work under the skilled workers. In essence these unskilled workers can be directly bribed and pacified by those a step above them since the working relationship is usually very close.

War is good for business

A recent slow down in the expansion of Government contracting has caused two new things to happen. Firstly the number of companies eliminating their own departments in favor of contracting out for services is on the rise. This is especially shown to be on the rise in the Utilities industry. Companies such as Sempra Energy contracted out for tech and telecomm services to both help stimulate the tech sector as well as save on their own operating expenses and generate more profits to line the pockets of top executives. Utilities as well as oil has always been of great interest to Bush and his cronies and if they can tip off their buddies in the industry in advance about any coming booms I’m sure they'd jump on it.

Secondly o the Bush administrations delight the problems of rising violence in Iraq combined with the recent corruption charges against the Neo-cons man in Iraq Chalibi give them cause to dispatch more troops. According to Newsweek and the Associated Press, Iraqi Police with U.S. troops raided Chalibi's compound. They also reported that for some reason the Joint Chiefs of staff had absolutely no idea what happened. The cluelessness by the joint chiefs of staff is just a move to lay the blame for the troubles of Iraq at the doorstep of their lowly commanders on the ground. It’s also typical of them to lay the blame on soldiers who are really just workers in uniform. The obvious question becomes if the people up top have absolutely no clue what their own people are doing can we say that our leaders really have their act together?

Of course lucky for the Joint Chief's of staff, as well are Bush and his corporate cronies, now they have Chalibi to scapegoat for failing to meet the deadline in Iraq as well as everything else. Of course for Chalibi's own part he was beginning to turn against the U.S. by encouraging people to launch a civil war and kick out U.S. troops. In any case Chalibi served his purpose he rebuilt the oil trade in Iraq for Bush's oil hungry cronies.

A struggle of East and West

As the continued plunder of Iraqi oil takes place new competition on the oil markets is taking place. To the dismay of Western Capitalists who fear and loath the rising Deformed Workers state of China as an economic power house, China has now become the second largest consumer of oil in the world right behind the U.S. Of course the increases in China's economy are not due to a march back towards Capitalism. Rather this increase in activity is owed to New Economic Policies (NEP) which Lenin first tried to institute in Soviet Russia. Of course back during that period in Russia this was the best thing that could be done at the time. Towards his final days however Lenin realized that the NEP was perhaps not the best route to go. Trotsky solved this problem by putting forward his theory of Permanent Revolution and thus provided the correct way forward. For its part The Stalinist Chinese CP has failed to even consider Trotsky's ideas of Permanent Revolution and this failure will lead to a decline that will be felt later.

For the immediate future however Western corporate Mongols will spit venom on China and the trade wars between the U.S. and China will begin to take on a more menacing nature. A new cold war between the two countries is very possible. For the time being however we'll need to carefully watch the events as they unfold.

Your so-called solution to the problem is total nonsense since you argue from both sides.  You want to set up independent "youth leagues" to train cadres to enter into the LP.

Well, I didn't feel anything since I didn't bother reading your second article.  As for your first one, your solution is completely contradictory since you advocate training people cadres outside the LP to enter the LP.  Also, we both believe in many gods, but we both have one we don't share, we have Ted Grant and you have Sidney Martinez.

No i'm sorry were not like you guys with your cult of Ted Grant.  Sidney Martinez is by no means a god he's just a theoretician.  I seem to not be getting what exactly your trying to say were contradicting ourselves on when you mention that.  How exactly are you saying that we are wrong?

I think since you have no real actual defense of our criticisms of your tactics in England that perhaps we should start talking as well about how you are Tactically bankrupt in the U.S. as well.

First off its clear that there is no actual application of Lenin in the methods the WIL uses to organize in The U.S.

Lenin said in Imperialism the Highest Stage of Capitalism that at the highest stages of the upper strata of workers become bribed by the capitalists this of course can be proofed to reality in which skilled workers and also union leaders begin to walk in line with management. Of course however you can go 2 ways with this the ultra left sects ussually go in the direction of an Anti-Proleterian theory in which they claim that the Proleteriat is little more then a benefactor of the resources raped by capitalists in the 3rd world. Of course its easy to see that this ultra left perspective is wrong and the other direction to go with this is to say that they do not become anti-proleterians rather what happens is that they the lower strata of workers since later Lenin discusses how workers altogether in the creditor state (i.e. United States) do in fact become benefactors of said commodities. But again this doesn't make them non-workers what essentially happens is that lower stata workers like upper strata become bribed as well by capitalists. So altogether as a whole older and seasonned workers in general take to reactionary and conservative mentalities both union and non-union workers. This is the reality of the situation in The United States and so much proof can be found to support that yet the WIL would like to maintain the illusion that some how the working class of the U.S. is the most progressive and open to Socialist ideas. This would be true if were talking about Germany or even England however in England they are not as progressive as workers in Germany. Basically the point i'm trying to get at is that orientation to youth and students some who happen to be (Young workers) are where a group serious about organizing should be focusing. This of course is
proven to be true this tactic has yielded more workers and unionists into our ranks then WIL's tactics/ and orientation has ever.

Another point i'd like to address is that while some may say that we are not that large yet one should take into account that on average a person brought into TLL has read more Marxist theory then a WIL member this is because of our correct application of Youth Leagues.  What we ended up with is disciplined educated cadre's i cite a recent example in where some of our newer members encountered a WIL member in LA who had absolutely no idea about any of the points we raised citing your tactical bankruptcy.  I believe he stated he wasn't even sure if he was a Communist what kind of poorly educated cadre's are you guys joinning?  This is not a serious approach to party building at all your lack of utilization of Youth Leagues yields you a poorly educated cadre of people.

When we were still part of WIL only 40% of the membership ever did anything or was active and then there was an over bloated National Committee of 12 people for a 40 person organization.  Its a wonder you ever got anything done with such an inefficient management model.  Not too mention that at least 1-2 members on your National Committee ever even lifted a finger to brance build rather they seemed to be on this body just to help muster votes for the Peterson Clique whenever he needed them to steamroller anything he needed to at the time.  This is absurd TLL gets by just fine on a 3 person Central Committee we sure get a hell of allot more done then WIL does thats for sure i'd wager that the Peterson clique is still trying to figure out how to get more then 40% of its members to do something rather then hangout as dead weight.

Its apparent that Grants dogmatic interpretation of Trotsky's calls to enter the Labor Party as a universal tactic leave your entire U.S. section 100% tactically bankrupt.  With no real tactic for moving forward just perspectives which assume workers in the U.S. are class conscious at this point or that some how constantly focusing on them will wake them up.

"For a Mass Party of Students and Workers!"

:D

That's all I have to say. Besides from it being outright hilarious to claim a international with 1 or 2 persons in some countries.

Anyway it still seems you don't know anything about the work in Britain but tries to criticise it anyway, that's not really any base for serious discussion now is it?

Ok I will answer anyway.
Because as I said I think it is hilarious for you guys to try to criticise the work in Britain when you have no clue on it. It's not a base for serious debate and gives you off from the start.

We have plenty of young comrades and more get attracted to us by the Venezuelan work. Youth Leagues can have many forms and it's a total abandonement of Lenin's flexibility to claim they should be youth leagues in that form just because Lenin wrote that. Only a religious would claim that.

Ok you are downright naive.
First of all you have no knowlegde about Britain that's quite obvious. 1. you wouldn't be able to send 500 people in at once. They would correctly be seen as coupers and would be expelled right away. 2. The struggle in Labour starts in the unions and we have alot of diciplined cadres there. This work don't happens overnight as you seem to think it takes lot's of time. If Taffe hadn't split the group things would be differently but there is no use crying over the past.

Trotskyism is leninism. I thought you people were educated but obviously not....
We still maintain a organisation while working in LP.
Your criticisms gives you away. How are any of us supposed to take you serious when you don't know what you are talking about?

From your articles I highly doubt that. I don't want to go into them but I think they are a big mishmash of different things. They are not coherent at all. Fúrthermpore they are always written by the same people, Sid and his clique (which seems quite small)

You pledge alligiance to the workers but you don't have it. A few years ago the workers here was inactive that has changed. The same can happen in the US. What your group fails to is to analyse things dialectically, to look further than just one or two years. Now you have build a "tendency" on your shortsightedness.

Btw there has been something I have been wondering about.

Quote
The Trotskyist Labor League (TLL)is a Marixst, Leninist, and Trotskyist organization and is The U.S. Sympathizers of The International Trotskyist Labor Tendency (ITLT)we fight for a socialist future, for the betterment of the individual, and society. Though we are a new organization already in just 6 months since we split from The Workers International League (WIL) we have built an international and grouped together several dedicated and hardworking individuals that will be the future leaders of the American revolution as well as the world revolution. Our organization continues to charge ahead and prove our perspectives and ideas to be correct in action join us in the building of a better world!


Are you seríous about this? First of I think most people will say well they are pretty pompous writing that when they haven't proven anything. It's the utmost delussion to write stuff like that. The coming leaders of the world revolution... Who will be able to take it serious?
Second you haven't build an international, a group as small as your is not an international. It's not a national section if you have 2 or 3 people.
This is really something that made me laugh when I first saw your page, don't you think people will see it for what it is? A pompous statement from a small group who lacks any theoretical founding?

First off we have more then just 1 or 2 person's in a country

We have sections in both The U.K. and The Philipines.

Places we don't have formal sections such as Canada, Germany, Italy, and Japan are were we have 1 or 2 members.  We have nice sized groupings in England and The Philipines.

We know enough about the so called work in Britain.

First off this is pretty much the same arguement that a "Revisionist" would make i find it funny how your tendency tends to use the word "Flexibility" either in place of "Revisionist" or you seem to use it in place of "Democracy or lack there of".  Its kind of funny reminds me of a section from The New Course For Trotskyism by Sidney Martinez where he describes how your comrade Peterson used "Suggestion" in place of "Bureacratic Marching Orders" just because you use a different word to describe something doesn't mean it still isn't what it is.

I think its ridiculous to claim we don't know anything about Britain when we have a section there.  Also we wouldn't send 500 People in at once we never once said we would i love how you take what we say out of context and attach extra words to it claimming thats what we said.  So your following point is invalid what we meant is that over time 500 people would exist inside the party.  Your just making excuses for why your inept group hasn't been able to wage a proper struggle against Blair and New Labour.  Once again your sole focus on labor and not being truly flexible has left you stranded tactically if you focused only on Labor of course you wouldn't have been able to muster enough support to combat New Labour your inept leadership lost us the LP militant wing of Labour indeed.  Had you been building Youth Leagues from the start you would have had more forces.  Don't try to claim you were either because by your own admission on another thread you claimmed YFIS was a U.S. invention and then later utilized in Britain.  Even in its application in Britain it still isn't a Youth League.

LOL :D ok first off yes and second off in your case no because it seems to me its quite common how you take Trotskyism and seperate it from Leninism on a constant basis.

Really and what is this so called Organization you maintain called?  Last time i checked you organized around a magazine solely how exactly is this maintainning a formal organizational apparatus?

I'm sure we can go into them later.  If i'm not mistaken most of your main articles are written by Grant and Woods and your other paid staff.  Well unlike you guys we can only afford a few staff for the moment and our other comrades constantly write articles as well why don't you pick up a copy of our magazine the toiler sometime?

Also you still haven't told me why you have such a poorly educated cadre in The U.S.

Just because we focus on Youth in America and Young workers by our own admission doesn't mean were distant from workers in fact we have Unionist support as well as other non-skilled workers just because we have young workers in our ranks doesn't mean were out of touch with workers.  As for U.K. and other countries when necessary we orient towards the working class when need be in the case of Germany the working class is the most progressive and there its important to focus on them.

As far as for our understanding of Dialectics i think we have it down quite well we know the situation will change and it is because we look at the short term and the long term that we will be able to intervene more effectively in the coming period then your U.S. section could ever dream of.  You so called Dialecticians got it down so well you look only at the future at the expense of the present so if our tendency is better focused for the here and now while we wait for the future i'd say were off to a great start.  We'll leave the wait around for workers to wanna be organized and do nothing effective that works in the mean time too your tendency afterall that whats your good at just look at your pathetic work in the LP.

Alot of these people were you guys as I remember. Failing to write articles etc.


I think this statement proves my point because while you guys were sitting on your asses writing not only articles but focusing everything on some online discussions as well as other things you failed at real world work.  As i recall we were out there organizing students, running discussion forums with real world Students and Workers the actual masses.  We didn't waste our time we took the necessary time to plan out our actions and went out and did something as a result the Southern CA grouping of your U.S. section sold more copies of Socialist Appeal then the rest of the country not to mention that your other branchs were looking to our comrade Martinez rather then your comrade Peterson for advice on how to build their branchs up.

I think this shows just how effective your pathetic leadership was so effective half your members were looking to someone else other then him for advice.

Are you seríous about this? First of I think most people will say well they are pretty pompous writing that when they haven't proven anything. It's the utmost delussion to write stuff like that. The coming leaders of the world revolution... Who will be able to take it serious?


Sure and we find that allot of people take us seriously especially when they find that our perspectives are more inline with their thinking then your alien perspectives.  The average workers we talk to seem to take what we say very seriously.

Second you haven't build an international, a group as small as your is not an international. It's not a national section if you have 2 or 3 people.


So now it goes from 1 or 2 to 2 or 3 well at least thats a little more credit then before. :D
