What's the Spartacist League up to these days?

This is turn-up for the books, as they say.
The Sparts in the USA are backing the canidates of a party called the Party for Socialism and Liberation in the Presidential election.
Why they not sectarian any more?

"The aim is to convince all those who are pissed at being screwed by Biden to go for his cop-loving side-chick" - I feel like this is quite different from their usual house style as well?

"side-chick" will come back to haunt them in future internal blood-letting, as perhaps will "Reagan in blackface".
 
ah yes. tankies, maoists, and juchists all at once.

Can Maoists and Tankies be friends?

[Cue song: The Maoists and the Tankies Should be Friends].

The Maoists agreed that the tanks should have been sent into Hungary in 1956, and indeed they criticised Khruschev for not sending in the tanks earlier, his failure to do so giving the “counter-revolutionaries” time to organise.

However, the Maoists disagreed with the USSR sending tanks into Czechoslovakia in 1968. The Beijing regime had fallen out with the Moscow regime, and the USSR was “state capitalist”, and thus the deployment of the Soviet army in Prague was “social imperialism”, said the Maoists.

I understand that in past 40 years these positions have evolved, and I have no idea what Maoists would now say about these matters.
