Several millionaires, really?! There was the Dewhurst person much later in RTS's life, but the group that started it and worked on it for most of the life were far from posh or rich. And the wider organizing meetings did have influence of its strategy, but you know what much of the wider group actually wanted to pull RTS into just being 'about cars' or other stuff (I remember one meeting where a few people new to the group starting saying we needed to focus on the health risks of plastics/metals in food packaging) - in fact many of the longer term members who got involved on that tag actually left after a bit. The reality was, for all it's faults, it was the smaller core group that was the part of RTS that was pushing the group into alliances with the Liverpool Dockers for example, or to take a more anti-capitalist line.
Yes, it was problematic organizing structure, but to paint it as these millionaire poshos not listening to the real working class in the wider group is not the simple truth.
We you involved in RTS, or is this an outside perspective of yours?
