Speaking to one of the co-conspirators of From Despair To Where? blog last night and, as is his fashion, he came up with a really thought provoking analogy of the Reform/Revolution debate - the thorny issue that more than anything else divides the ultra left from everybody else:
"The Reform/Revolution issue should be seen in the same fashion as a boxer and how he fights. The ultra-left is always going all out for the knock out punch, whereas as with the reform/revolution issue it's always best to jab - to find your range - so that the knockout punch is all the more effective."
I've paraphrased what he said badly (me and my memory) - and hopefully he will either post to his own blog with the proper wording or correct me in the comments box - but it is definitely something to be think about.
It also explains how Chris Eubank battered Nigel Benn all those years ago.
