As we commented before, the Sri Lanka party has taken a position opposite to that of Lenin in regards to the far more reactionary parliamentary body, the Duma. It has enforced a strategy designed for dealing with the defeat of the working class and applied it after a major victory for the working class. It has substituted, then, defeat for victory in the name of the working class. A reversal will only take place through the establishment of a Democratic Power Faction that takes the power over the ICFI organization from the Nanobureaucracy.

We can draw further conclusions from this substitution by the Nanobureaucracy of defeat for a victory. When reaction does gain a real victory, when the working class does get massacred and imprisoned by the thousands and the revolution faces repression everywhere, the Nanobureaucracy will then recklessly try to replace victory for defeat. It will force forward its leaders into confrontations with the police state, who will then be tortured and executed, when that it is the correct time to boycott and to stay away from illegal public gatherings.

Such a reckless policy has its roots in the idealist philosophy of the Nanobureaucracy, derived from North’s partnership with Steiner in a blanket defense of Healy’s policies in the 1970s. Rather than the material conditions producing a leadership for the working class, which then controls the party as a means to gaining power, the Nanobureaucracy argues that the leader’s ideas, arriving from another plane above material reality, imposes its views on the revolutionary movement. The job of the bureaucracy is to make sure no one in the working class questions these supposedly perfect ideas, which like angelic light from heaven, should force open the eyes of the masses.
