So this honor meant continued liquidation of Trotskyist forces and
eventual capitulation to the gov't in Algeria? Abandoning any pretext
of Marxism? He took a vacation only to leave organized Trotskyism to
work on his memoirs?

Ah...Paris in the 1950s. Only with organized Trotskyism which Pablo
was out to destroy. I don't run the MIA, its far too big with far to
many other people in charge. I'm just the old guy who goes "eh?
Whatdayamean?". Other people run it, I just sit back and get taken out
to dinner.

I guess this mean John. Well, at least John gets his information from
source OTHER than Robert Alexander.

If Thornett was a "Labourite" so was Lenin and Trotsky. There was not
ONE wing of organized British Trotskyism that at one time or other
wasn't inside the Labour Party.

Now, this might be true, in the tactical sense. Not in the overall
strategic sense. The IC wing certainly opposed, unconditionally, the
existence of a French colony in the Maghreb.

Yes, and no wing, even YOUR wing was in the French gov't during this
time nor had that perspective, that I'm aware of.

Probably true. But at this time there was a difference between the
Mandel wing and Pablo's wing.
