Problems of Revolution -- Robin Cox
Below is the second and final part of Why the WSM (World Socialist Movement) is not growing. In this part Robin Cox puts forward the view that the ban on people who hold religious views from joining the WSM is outdated and superflous.

Marxism and Anarchism: are they incompatible?
How should we evaluate the great thinkers of the past who have contributed to the development of a critique of capitalism and the idea of a free society that could replace it? Thinkers and theorists such as Bakunin, Goldman, Kropotkin, Luxemburg, Marx and Morris; listed here in alphabetal order rather in terms of importance. There are of course others but we cannot list them all. One thing we should definitely avoid is to engage in hero worship or regard every word of our chosen thinker as gospel; we should not be in the business of turning their various ideas into something that almost smacks of a religion. All these thinkers were human beings not super beings, yes they contributed much, but like all of us they made mistakes, their times and conditions had a profound effect on their thinking. What we really need to do is to focus on and develop the ideas that seem relevant whilst leaving behind the ideas that have not stood the test of time.
