The accused was one of the party's leaders, and those handling the investigations - the leader's friends - humiliated the complainant, asking demeaning and sexist questions before clearing the accused of all wrongdoing. When members protested the decision, supporters of the party leadership sought to drive the dissidents out of the party. For 12 months, the conflict wore on without resolution as more and more information became known to the members and the public. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on documents held by fellow activists and interviews with more than 50 participants, including each of the main complainants, this book analyses the structures and personalities that made these failures possible - from shielding perpetrators to harassing victims and accusing critics of abandoning Marxism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e D.
