| The leftist groupuscules of the 1970s provide rich pickings, and Cohen has some fun with the Workers' Revolutionary Party under the sinister and rapacious leadership of Gerry Healy. This is, naturally, represented as an exercise in morality and international law and under this rubric many religious and political (these days sometimes the two are indistinguishable) groupuscules are busily meddling in Papuan affairs and contributing what they can to the destabilisation of the Republic of Indonesia. Ultimately, the sect weakened itself, again like modern political groupuscules, by splitting into warring factions of various degrees of extremism, before it became both consolidated and confined within the Armenian, Coptic, and Syrian Jacobite Churches. |
