Talk:Abigail Bakan

128.100.87.196
128.100.87.196 typifies how not to use Wikipedia. Just check out his/her editing history. Their May 30th edit of the Abbie Bakan entry is simply an anti-IS diatribe. Firstly, McNally was not "ousted" as far as I am aware. According to the internal IS documents link provided on the International Socialists (Canada) entry, nowhere is McNally ousted. Rather, he left the organization to form the NSG. Maybe he was ousted, but I have not seen the evidence that it was simply Bakan and Kellogg who did it.

Apparently, there is also a Bakan/Kellogg dictatorship over the IS and even within the Steering Committee, which is ultimately subordinate to "supremo" Alex Callinicos of the British SWP. No evidence is provided for this, let alone an attempt at objectivity, or a presentable criticism. This person cannot even get their facts straight - John Bell is not on the Steering Committee at present. I've placed the entire Steering Committee information on the main IS entry, rather than in Bakan's entry.

128.100.87.196 should get a life. If they have a problem with the IS, they say so at an public IS meeting. Or maybe they already do, and are one of the brainwashed idiots who read off written statements about how the IS/NSG/CPC/Socialist Project are a bunch of counter-revolutionaries and their org is Marx's gift to the proles.
