I, for one, appreciate your comment. I came to detest Robertson but the whining expressed on these threads does not impress me, either.
We may have every former Spart, but something tells me we'll still have you, too.
Carl, I just do not believe your recollection of events. Your claims of eternal victimhood have become tiring.
Seymour was forced out many years ago by Robertson who claimed he was some sort of clone. I am sure Carl can give you some of the more sordid details. I was never impressed by the man. I remember when he raised the oh-so-pressing issue of whether or not we needed to wash both sides of a dish. I think he was reacting to some of the female comrades' complaints that men (that would include Seymour) did not do enough to keep house in their common households. He took at stab at modern economics, something Robertson bragged about in his meetings with the CWC, but he stopped writing about the subject shortly thereafter.
So what was the official Spart line on how to do the dishes? I need to know.
What line is there ever on housework, when the sexes clash in battle royale?
I think people ignored him. Maybe it was his very New York Jewish sense of humor, which some of us took to the first degree, in which case, the joke's on me!
I note only one side of that dish is being washed mind.
Not much gets past our man jones.
It's my advanced dialectical thinking skillz.
I was never a member nor visitor to the SLUS. The meeting I mentioned with Robertson took place in the Sydney offices of the SLANZ and probably when he and Liz G visited for a summer camp\ national gathering. Our membership was very young and Robertson’s pep talk was to pump us up. The SLANZ was likened to a youth group that was structured and functioned as a party demanding total dedication. Around that time it’s central committee and that of the SLUS functioned formally as an international leadership which became a problem for Robertson when Bill L and Adaire H were sent to head up the SLB and supposedly forgot they were on a mission. “(Dis)Honourable Schoolboy” and (counter-coup)“7 days in May” stuff was said to have taken place. Bill L, an upstart, was easily snuffed out and Adaire left shortly after.
The clones were said to be young Seymour type intellectuals that were stopped and maybe a “re-education” was attempted or probably they just collapsed under the attack and left. The name Murry S that figured at the time could be the Canadian academic who has found space on the IBT web site.

I hope they cleaned inside and outside of the bowl.
I made it my duty as chair of the meeting to check. Five stars .
It's about quality not quantity. Snappy slogans like that don't write themselves.The OG Spartacist League:

I hope you gave them a decent review on TrotAdvisor
Still more "final reflections on the matter"? As in final, final?
