not true that they hold that no progressive ends can be achieved except through the DP. The argument rather is whether there is anything at
all to be gained through the DP or is it a lost cause, or worse a prime barrier as you hold. As we all seem to agree these things are not
binary issues…
Carrol is as dogmatic on this issue as the most dogmatic Trotskyist.
There’s no reasoning with him. ABBers ruined the antiwar movement,
don’t you see? I could go on.
