here is a bunch of commentators.  for eg:


Raja Swamy, "Zionism and Hindutva in the U.S." Ghadar, June 2004. http://ghadar.insaf.net/June2004/MainPages/zionism.htm
[/size]This article offers a detailed discussion of the links between Zionist and Hindu nationalist organizations and web sites in U.S., such as the fact that the web sites Kahane.org and HinduUnity.org are or were both hosted by a Christian Zionist in Annandale, Virginia. One of the footnotes also points to an interesting ideological divergence within the Hindu nationalist movement: "The hindutva.org website promotes a 'Savarkar' brand of Hindutva which asserts atheistic, militaristic Hindu chauvinism, as opposed to the VHP-Bajrang Dal version which pursues the same with Brahmanic symbolism and ritualism."

Abstract
This article  explores the importance of morality, gender, and desire for C. L. R. James’s  self-representation as a revolutionary intellectual.


Social scientific theories  that depict radicalism as a one-way Caribbean export to the United Kingdom  and the United States have obscured shared traditions across the modern Atlantic world. Throughout his transatlantic migrations from 1932 to 1952, James trafficked in moral frameworks grounded in hetero-sexist lessons of discipline, loyalty and self-denial. As apublic intellectual, he championed the ‘Puritan’ ethics of his protestant middle-class family in colonial Trinidad. In his private life, James had an unsteady orientation to their moral compass.




The  historiography of the Black Radical Tradition has erased women and gender from the horizons of revolutionary action. {which wome does the author have in mind..black revolutionayr women, european,, white..who?}


The intimacies of radical political organizing in the United Kingdom and the United States led James to revise, reject, and reproduce patriarchal values of his colonial up-bringing. During the 1940s and 1950s he co-founded the Johnson-Forest Tendency, an interracial, intergenerational organization that theorized and organized for the liberation of women, youth and workers.


Despite the Tendency’s  inter-sectional  agenda, James concentrated political power within himself through the sexual domination of women. Confronting a cold war government intent on deporting him,James staked his claim for US citizenship on the body of his second wife Constance Webb.




An absent husband and authoritarian political leader, James  denied his political affiliations and marketed himself to immigration officials as a moral patriarch. In crafting his intellectual legacies, he censored women from his revolutionary biography

Quote:Indeed, and perhaps by intention, Webb's memoir, while utterly respectful of the intellect and devotion of James, provides considerable documentation to suggest that the organization had many features of a cult.
In Webb's rendition, the central leaders—James along with Dunayevskaya and Grace Lee, both of whom are depicted as being in love with James—operate without accountability to the membership.
James himself simultaneously engaged in sexual relations with a substantial number of women in the organization, including married ones.  He was financially supported by a stipend from a wealthy member, Lyman Paine, and frequently waited on by others; members would sometimes sit at his feet while he reclined on a bed.
When the Johnson-Forest tendency decided to leave the Socialist Workers Party in 1951, the plan was kept a secret so that the tendency members might dramatically rise en masse to depart from their branch meetings at the exact same moment.  (For an informative study of the phenomenon of political cults, see Dennis Tourish and Tim Wohlforth, On the Edge: Political Cults Right and Left, 2000.)
