And, finally, I’m unsurprised to discover that back in the ’70s, the Polynesian Panthers *did* advocate overthrow of the capitalist system. So yes, it is a crucial part of the story.

It has huge implications for strategy. It’s the difference between the NAACP and the BPP, the difference between a communist group and an NGO, it is not the difference between Trotskyist Sect A and Trotskyist Sect B as satirised in Life of Brian.

And yes, the international context is crucial. If I’m writing about the gay liberation movement in NZ for example, I have to write about how the US gay liberation movement broke from the Homosexual Law Reform groups or I’m missing the point.

OK, I’ll bite. Since when is the difference between a get-into-a-position-0f-influence “human rights” strategy and a revolutionary strategy a minor sectarian quibble?
