are the following words:<<<

Could you please post the whole statement to this l'st?

It is not credible to claim it is a marxist
principle never to negotiate, and Lenin is on record about the
situation where he might hand over his gun to bandits. The problem
is that people in captivity are in a very weak position to
judge accurately the balance of forces for negotiations, much as
they might like to.

The editorial introduction by A World to Win is also relevant as
Avakian and his supporters no doubt have their own concept of
their credibility to defend.

It would also help to explain why sources using the name
Sol Rojo are not backing the call by Olaechea and Borja for
a WMC.

Can we have the politics of this compared, and less of this network of
abuse? It is unlikely to convince many.

MIM with its class analysis of
the imperialist countries must know that winning one or two adherents
on this l'st, is from its point of view not where the real class
struggle is. Can we just compare and clarify different political
positions, or lines, and then people can go their different ways in
practice?
