This is really pathetic: attacking a contributor on the basis of national
origin. This is actually the second time Louis has sunk to "discrediting"
Reeves this way. Surely Francophobia is unacceptable to the
internationalists on this list ...

Reeves said nothing of the sort. He explicitly said that he was not seeking
to advise the EZLN on what they should do. This would be meaningless. He
was trying to cut through an enormous amount of crap about the EZLN to come
to a critical understanding of their movement.

So what do people think about Madame Mitterand and Marcos? The silence on
this list has been deafening.
