RMP3 - how can the IWCA say how the democratisation of the economy will come about? Will it face opposition from those who have an interest in maintaining the status quo? Yes. Do we know what form that will take and what responses the working class will develop to that opposition? In the absence of history as something which simply repeats itself, the answer must be no. Using the imagery and language of Russia circa 1917 or Paris circa 1968, limits possibilities rather than opening them up (indeed the SWP recognises this in part by choosing socialist rather than communist for its name - unfortunately it is unable to pursue the logic of its own position in this regard); what matters is the content of the change we are able to help produce rather than the label we attach to it.
Fair enough, that confirms the opinion I had, and it's a perfectly reasonable political position imo. Not one I agree entirely with For practical reasons , but a perfectly reasonable political position. [We might personally agree more about labels etc, more than you think. ;) ]
