      “It inevitably leads to confusion and who really cares, in those organisations to which there have been references, whether The Socialist Party offers its “support” or not?”I think it matters. During the 1984 miners strike I was putting the case for socialism on the picket line and it would not help if the Standard tells them that socialists dont support you and your ‘leader’ is a con man etc etc. It is important that the SPGB doesnt appear to be the enemy of the working classDJP says above    “reform or revolution does not mean that we should oppose all reforms (as the other SPGB seem to think) but that we should oppose reformism, the illusion that you can get to socialism by gradually stacking reforms one on top of the other.”Is there a difference between not opposing a reform and supporting it? What is the official party position?  Is it the party position that we do not oppose ALL reforms.  Did we support or oppose democracy in Poland or did we just not oppose it?I am not nit picking here. I think it is very important
