I honestly seek to build an organization in the real world that is as

Why limit it to that? Does Henwood have to get his own party?
BTW I correctly expected that no matter how many times I denied the point,
even in capital letters (maybe I should start using HTML and 24-pt bold?),
Proyect would continue to write as if it were a settled fact that we use
single-issue "litmus tests":
"I can't recall the Bolshevik Party utilizing the class struggle in other
countries as a litmus test. Do you think that Fidel Castro was writing
editorials on Eastern Europe in 1957?"
Which is a really peculiar thing to ask. You're saying that we pay too much
attention to the international situation? If Cuba had been a nuclear-armed
imperialist colossus in 1957, I bet Fidel would have been writing editorials
on a lot of international events.
Anyway I think I've made my points, the next generation will have to decide
if they held up -
