You stupid boy. By using the term ultra-left I was not making a reference to left-wing communists as Lenin wrote about in Left-Wing Communists. The ultra-left - as opposed to hard-left and far-left - were those groups that took an anti-humanitarian line usually after spending far too much time theorising. In Britain, they were typified by the RCP and a case in point was their call for "Victory to Iraq" during the first Gulf war. Their reasoning behind this argument was that military victory for Iraq would be a defeat for the British and American ruling class. In effect, their political positioning was national chauvinism as a victory for Iraq would have strengthened the Iraqi ruling class. As it happens, the Iraqi people nearly overthrew their own government in the aftermath of the military defeat (They pulled a similar stunt during the Falklands War when they called for victory for the fascist Argentinian army).
Another classic ultra-left position was refusing to defend the NHS because it was a two-tier service for the private and public sector.
Would you like to give you any more political lessons little boy?
It's nice to see though that you have derailed another thread without contributing anything in response to the OP.
