10. Trots and anarchists haven't always gotten along, but....

we do share one very important commonality and that IS a bottom up style. Now, Trotskyists do "bottom up" within the framework of democratic-centralism and a vanguard party and it is MAJORITY based rather than consensus, but that is a commonality that is not shared by some democratic-centralist groups which are heavily top down.

And under a United Front type of setup (which is what I consider this to be), the way we ALL formulated the rules is the way it should be. That doesn't mean we give up our individual tendencies and that doesn't mean we can't argue FOR our conceptions of strategy and tactics, but in a UF the Front partners make the rules for the Front. If the rules get too onerous then you can leave the Front, but until then, those rules are the ones you abide by.
