Militant were cool as shit as entryists, they essentially brought the entire Labour party to its knees but then they fucked up and it created the opportunities that allowed purging the entire left.
Ever since then the left in the UK has been doing entryism to try and redo it, and Corbyn was the result. Then Starmer undid it. Now there's no appetite for entryism anymore so there's been a shift in gears. Corbyn himself seems to be laying the groundwork for popup soviets under the new name of "people's forums" or whatever. What IMT are up to I don't know. Jez is not from the IMT strain of the left though he's allied with them many times, he's much closer to ML in my opinion, far too friendly to the USSR, Cuba, Venezuela and such projects while also never really said a single bad word about China even during the uighur propaganda.
The IMT crowd are competent. But they're also fucking annoying because you know how trots regularly fight over stupid shit that doesn't matter.
I'm possibly treading close to sectarianism there but I really do think there's no reason anyone needs to fight. I think a mixed strategy is holistically better for the left to reach different segments of people, the only thing to worry about later is bringing all of those segments together.
