I along with a number of other members of Workers Power in Britain, Austria and the Czech Republic have resigned from the organisation. The global capitalist crisis has posed tremendous questions for the radical left about how to go forward. We have increasingly drawn the conclusion that the historical legacy of the post-war left, in particular the Leninist-Trotskyist left, needs to be subjected to far-reaching critique and re-evaluation in light of the contemporary challenges.The organised left is dogged by sectarianism and opportunism. There there are quite literally hundreds of competing orthodoxies, with each sect promoting and defending its own, typically very narrow, conception of revolutionary theory and practice without subjecting their ideas to the critical re-evaluation which we believe is necessary if Marxism is to reach out to far wider layers.
We came to the conclusion that a method of organising exclusively focused on building specifically Leninist-Trotskyist groups prevents the socialist left from creating the kind of broad anticapitalist organisations, which can present a credible alternative to the mainstream parties.

At this point, we realized that our permanence in BC didn’t make sense anymore. Moreover, any objection coming from us was interpreted as an attack on the clique, and any criticism as a manifestation of diabolical intellectual and human arrogance: in the eyes of the supreme priest and (by hereditary right) of his clergymen, we became a nightmare they had to get rid of, by resorting to the force of numbers and calumny, as in the best Stalinist tradition.
