We’re writing a longer piece about John Molyneux from marx21.net, so for now I’ll just mention one point, underlying something another comrade said about his being non sectarian.

I remember John saying years back that we often use the term “comrade” to mean “member of our party”. He pointed out that this was wrong, and sectarian.

Comrades are all those who take part in the struggle for socialism, for social justice, whatever organisation they belong to, if any. Among these other comrades, of course we defend our point of view and our strategies, alongside other members of our own group, but we are ALL comrades.

As I say, it’s just one point, but I have kept it in mind ever since, and it became part of my vision of revolutionary politics.
