Re:Flett's "not punch ups down alley ways" comment
This is the usual SWP dig at Squadism. It is pointless as the SWP could now not recruit the types who could and would form effective squads anyway. It is more just knee jerk sectarianism and fighting the tactical battles of the past (the SWP talk off the past A LOT !) .
It is ironic in a way as the early SWP did tacticly approve of Squads and were happy to receive their protection against a very violent far right. It was only in the early 1980s when they wanted to drop anti fascism altogether and wind up the ANL did they start expelling mainly working class activists for it as they were afraid of factions forming (an anathema to them as it threatens their internal "democratic centralism")
