ESF: British provincialism
Criticism of the high-handed, secretive and undemocratic
methods of the main organisers of the London ESF are not
restricted to the democratic opposition in Britain. A
report to the Italian mobilising committee, of which we
publish extracts here, has been translated and posted
on ESF discussion sites. Written by Gianfranco Benzi,
Piero Bernocchi, Maurizio Biosa, Alessandra Mecozzi
and Franco Russo, it is also highly critical of
the 'provincialism' of the British organisers. Although
intended only for Italian consumption, its release provoked
a terse response from Alex Callinicos of the SWP and a
further public elaboration from the Italians
