I don't buy this analysis. I don't think they have any core of political
principle, and much more rank opportunists, like all Stalinists stripped of
their icons. Moreover, I find that the oppportunism moves into some very
dangerous areas which, at their mildest, can be called xenophobic -- and at
their worst are openly anti-Semitic, racist and proto-fascist.
