I can't believe it! So the persistent critic of one political party as being vanguardist, prescriptive, etc, etc. for having a programme it puts before workers turns out to be a member/supporter of another political party!
I imagine that, as a political party, IWCA is opposed to the other political parties, especially when it contests elections eg when it stood against Lindsey Germain of Respect in the 2004 elections for London mayor. I think it's opposed too to Leninism and the concept of the vanguard party. So that's something else that the IWCA and the SPGB would seem to have in common.
Found this observation on another thread which may or may not be appropriate here:
It's a sunny day in a local park. First man is walking along the path by the duck pond; he takes a swig from a bottle of Becks. Second man is slumped next to a bench cradling a nearly empty two litre bottle of White Lightening. Seeing the first man, he tries to sit up straight, points an accusing finger and shouts 'pisshead!'
