Just the fact that he drifted from the International Socialist Tendency founded by Tony Cliff into the 4th International without any explanation whatsoever despite heated debates and controversies between the two on the class nature of Russia (for starters) indicates to me, like MFB said, that this guy is not the brightest bulb in the box. I was happy to read that the Matzpen member debated this fool on Iraq and that they had a falling out over the latter's sycophantic neo-con politics. That was pretty much the one positive element in this whole story. I enjoy these “gallery of rogue” posts, although this guy has got to be up there in terms of stupidity among ex-leftists.

Sorry he has leukaemia, though. Grateful for the information, but isn’t the bottom line simply that Makiya is not very bright and not tremendously self-aware or honest?
