The Lambertistes were one of the more significant branches of Trotskyism, especially -but not only- in France. I characterize them as national Trotskyists, similar to the group in the UK that was led by Gerry Healy and which spawned the current WWSW. The RCIT polemic is, I think, in the ball par

Political Zionism from the time of Theodor Herzl, down on, has always sought to create alliances with reactionaries and anti-Semites. What was behind all of these attempts by Herzl and other Zionists at forging alliance with anti-Semites was their acceptance of certain shared assumptions. For bo
