220 Rejection of Argentina invitation

This is not the first time the SEP rejected an important invitation on spurious grounds. While calling these other groups pseudo-left, the SEP has taken a nano-left approach in contradiction to the political approach of Lenin and Trotsky.

Back in 2006, after two difficult campaigns to bring the SEP perspective to the masses in 2004 and 2006, the SEP rejected an invitation to appear on CNN, on prime time in front of millions of viewers nation-wide, to discuss the election with a known dissident against the two-party system, Glen Beck. This decision, made undemocratically behind the backs of the membership, stole away the rights of members and campaigners who spent many hours and days attempting to put SEP candidates in front of a large audience.

Breaking the SEP from nano-leftism and turning it into a mass party based on democratic centralism will require a concerted and determined effort on the part of new membership. The rise in class consciousness and revolutionary pressure will bring new members to the party. In order to prevent a fate for the party similar to that of the ISO, a loyalist faction must be formed and defended as an official faction to defend the rights of these participants. The loyalist faction must preserve order within the party while breaking it from nano-leftism.

    ~For this reason, the ICFI should provide a detailed financial report (even if slightly redacted) to the public as part of its fund-raiser drive. ~~

    Fat chance. As a former branch finance officer, I watched the financial aspects of the party become increasingly opaque to *members*. I will not go into the “lifestyles” of party leadership except to note that some do not have to make the same painful budgetary choices that most rank and file do when it comes to dues and such. There are members who truly sacrifice, and leadership who travel the world regularly in comfort.

      This represents the pressure of class forces on the party. The intra-party situation requires an intra-party program as a solution, based on the Declaration of the 46, the founding document of the Left Opposition, written in 1923 while Lenin still lived. An analysis, based on your testimony and others, should be written and distributed to membership. This should include a summary of the external forces working on the party, such as national self-determination, opposition to imperialist courts, and inter-party discord which threatens to break out into military conflict or the politicalization of the military. Such forces give enormous import to the work of the party, but the nano-bureaucracy cannot force itself, against its very nature, to take the side of the working class and the world revolution. Only constant, unrelenting pressure will force them to open the gates for the workers.

      This seems pertinent not only to the ISO financial meltdown, but more recently, to the National Rifle Association leadership revelations.
