The Danger of Christianity posing as Leftism

Socialists and anarchists must take precautions to ensure that social religious groups do not infiltrate the movement.
A controversy has sprung up around Catholic Worker, who have been rightly rebuffed for applying to attend a left wing book fair later this month.
The organisers have acted entirely correctly; it is an absolute necessity to ensure, particularly in today's climate, that social poulist groupings, while being granted secular rights in general society, cannot be allowed to masquerade as modern leftists. It is highly irresponsible for CW to use the badge of being "Working Class" to campaign for christianity, when the only hope for that class is international, atheistic, socialism.
The christians have made a lot of inroads recently:the Cuban Communist party , even our very own SWP. Time to stop it.
