...[edit]

As one of the "floor managers" I can say SC worked with NPI to pass versions of the resolution at riding meetings and worked with NPI on floor strategy at teh convention. NPI seemed to take it for granted their resolution would be amply debated. The S, advised that it had been given a low priority, a familiar tactic of the "Establishment" to smother debate.NPI appealed and got a higher priority. We also advised the "establishment" likely would squat at all the mikes to block debate and offered to work with them to ensure they had a chance to speak. It was largely thanks to the SC that NPI managed to control the pro mikes by doing their own squat. The one SC speaker at the mike had been negotiated with the NPI, by us giving up a place NPI wanted-the third speaking spot on the pro mikes and taking the 6th spot.

Changes[edit]

I just made a few quick changes to the inaccuracies that existed in the first edit of this article. To begin, the Socialist Caucus is not a Trotskyist organization and never has been. There are Trotskyists in the Caucus - two of them, to be exact. There used to be three until Joe Flexer passed away five years ago. This is compared to the hundreds of SC supporters throughout the country and the dozens of activists that take part in SC activities. I would hardly call having two members out of hundreds of supporters a "Trotskyist" organization.

The Caucus is not "led by Socialist Action," which is a Leninist-Trotskyist Organization. The Caucus is led by a 12-member Organizing Committee of NDP activists from all over the country, one of whom is a Trotskyist.

Finally, I was at the federal "NPI" Convention in Winnipeg, and one Socialist Caucus member actually GAVE UP her place at the microphone to allow an NPI member to speak. There was one Socialist Caucus member, Barry Weisleder, who did speak at the microphone, but he got in line like everyone else.

Well I wasn't there, so I won't touch that again. However, did you not notice what your edit did to the infobox table? Why did you mindlessly revert, not even looking at what you were doing to the infobox? You went back and fixed your response here (twice), but you turned a blind eye to the article; what's up with that? Be bold, but look at what you're doing too. ^…Mar ka ci 2005-07-26 T 07:20:10 Z

I'm sorry about this, Markaci. I didn't know what to do with regards to the misplaced table. I was my first time editing an article. I'll be more careful in the future.

And I'm sorry if that came out brash. That's not how I intended it to be. Hopefully I didn't scare you away. Welcome to Wikipedia! ^…Mar ka ci 2005-07-26 T 23:10:35 Z
