Agreed. Let me just remind you that my criticism of the theory of labour
aristocracy was against its theoretical and empirical weakness (those
points were enumerated in a list not long ago which has yet to be
addressed). The fact that the theory has reactionary political
corollaries was a secondary issue, and possibly irrelevant to the
discussion but I felt it had to be made clear.
(Moreover, the theory in question was not Marx's.)
