"BAMN is a front group of the self-styled 'Revolutionary Workers League,' which
claims to be Trotskyist.  But the BAMN journal, the _Liberator_, has nary a
word to say about capitalism or the working class..."

	-- The _Workers Vanguard_, April 10

I have heard many individual BAMN members state that they were socialists
(e.g. on Sproul when confronted by ISO or Sparticist members), but I have
never before heard the assertion that BAMN in its entirety is a socialist
group.  Their rhetoric is philosophically near what you read in _Workers
Vanguard_, but I've never heard them call it "revolutionary" in public.
