I would imagine that many of those present at Marxism 2006 support (eg) the anarchist protests against G8 or disruptions of white supremecist rallies, so there isnt really any morall highground to be had here. People are always going to demonstrate against political groups that they find evil, and I suspect that the only reason there arent more protests against Marxism 2006 is because most people think communism is largely irrelevant, whereas G8 superficially has more political power. If the UK was actually on the brink of becoming communist, then actively disrupting an event like this may be perfectly justified (depending on pragmatics).
