The Spartacists are very serious about being professional revolutionaries. If you can't commit to that being a #1 thing in your life, better to be a sympathizer than a member, and do what you can.

Thanks I'll look for them. Sounds like a pretty solid organization. For your organization you put sympathizer of the Spartacist league, is there anything in particular that has deterred you from joining?

Poz: they had a big article on India last fall, part of which was probably from an Indian supporter who had a letter published in the Workers Vanguard a while back. It talks about the Naxalites, doesn't support their Mao Stalinist politics but makes it clear it's on their side vs. the government. I'm sure you can find it easily enough, the website has a good search engine.

Likewise with the FARC I recall, although they haven't written about them for a number of years.

Basically, they support peasant movements vs. their oppressors, but believe strongly that the working class has to lead the movement, they disagree sharply with Maoist peasant guerilla conceptions. And the FARC drug connection does not particularly freak them out, after all the druglords are mostly with the right wing death squads.

Hey do you know what the Spartacist line on non-trotskyist mass movements such as naxalism in India or (less of a mass movement) FARC in Colombia. Even though I generally have a more position view of Stalin I checked out the Spartacist website and agreed with a lot of their positions and I'd like to know more.
