Your article in the Socialist Register 1976 entitled “Moving On” asks the question, why none of the organizations which since 1956 have occupied the area you describe as the “left wing stage” “constitute an effective socialist formation”? You claim that “such an organization remains to be created”. You go on to give an “explanation” of why “existing organizations cannot fill the gap”. But the “gap” your article reveals is in your own knowledge — yawning chasm would be a better description. Your contribution is merely ignorance confounded by confusion; first your analysis of the present “left wing” misunderstanding of the nature of revolutionary activity and second, your exclusion of the SPGB reveals either ignorance or political dishonesty.
