You seem to be be very ignorant of all the things going on at the time
of the RT faction expulsion. 1965 was the key year and tons of stuff
was happening with more than just the RT. There actually was a lot of
opposition to this, among other things.

The RT leaving is hardly a red-letter day for the SWP. It had little
or no effect on the SWP. The OCI had zero sup****ters or influence
around the SWP, leaving it up to the SLL (a huge mistake, clearly) to
handle the English speaking world. Why would the Lambs have anything
to say except their already known opposition to the reunification?
