John, the weekend's argument was over the nature of the organizing group for the marchers, International Answer. Now, by their own admission, International Answer is a front group for International Action, which is an offshoot of the World Workers Party, associated with Ramsey Clark. They are socialists, again by their own words. Just look at their sites if you have doubts. While I did call the marchers fuzz-brains who support no coherent policy beyond "No War!" (I don't regard leaving Saddam Hussein alone as a well-conceived humanitarian policy), Win invented the "commie dupe" line. Just as JohnM said it was illegitimate for LindyBill to call International Answer socialists, since "socialist" is a bad name in LB's book (LB had held that International Action was doing some smart politicking by organizing this front group). My reaction was, they are socialists - what is LB supposed to call them?
