I talked to them and they were pretty nice. Tried to sell me a newspaper though! But I expected them to do that.

There were other leftists there, not just the RCP.
The local MLs were there, but they were a stereotype. It was two guys with a bag full of pamphlets, one of them in a "Let Cuba Live" shirt, and the other one... torn, stained, red shirt with a hammer and sickle and "CCCP" on it. A classic "washed up Soviet sympathiser" image. I saw them and literally facepalmed. They made MLs look like a joke, next to the Trotskyists, and that's a feat, for sure. I still let them put me on their mailing list, though, and they insisted on giving me some pamphlets. At least they didn't try to sell me a newspaper!
There were some anti-imperialist solidarity group people there, too. They claimed to be Maoists. The girl I talked to was really nice and cool. But most people who hate imperialism are neat people, so.
