- Who left Batta in charge of an email list of all the members of the SEP? Why did a provisional member have that responsibility and level of access? If the practice of expelling members serves to increase security, why do you have inexperienced members with a list of the entire membership’s contact information? Since that was the crime for which he was expelled, whoever entrusted him with the list should also be expelled as a safety measure against the party’s information ending up in the possession of someone who would abuse it. Otherwise, the entire incident is just a bureaucratic measure, perhaps even a deliberate act of coercion and entrapment, to terrify the membership rather than encourage open debate between factions, as was intended by the founders of the Left Opposition. In this case, the nano-bureaucracy owes him an apology and a real debt for punitive damages.
- The Svart controversy also has another possible plot twist. If the SEP leadership sees itself as Trotsky, then they may hunt for a Ramon Mercador to expel on false pretenses. What it will not see, however, can hurt it far worse. The leadership will not see themselves as a nano-bureaucracy that suppresses the democratic rights of the membership. If it sees things in this light, however, then Trotsky would be the expelled member, the one who in 1928 received the punishment of exile from the Soviet Union or in 2006 received no warning that the nano-bureaucracy had decided to sabotage his campaign work preceding his 2007 expulsion. The 1928 rock was the first rock they threw, and the last one landed in 1940 with his assassination at the hands of Ramon Mercador.
