MIM, please don't go

MIM:

>>>because in reality they have no line at all, just the cops', cyberLiberals' 
>>>and
ultra-Trotskyists' desire to cause havoc in the revolutionary forces.
(For this reason, it does seem to be a good idea to get off this list for a
while.)

While your criticism are harsh and IMO crude, you add a unique
voice to this l'st, and you do not abuse it by posting very
frequently. Please do not go. You add to the diversity of the
contributions.

That diversity could "cause havoc" among the revolutionary forces,
with only a little additional stirring up by me.
IMO it is a fair challenge
to see whether people from the Maoist tradition can handle their
contradictions constructively and creatively.
Apparently not at present.

I am disappointed you did not copy for the l'st the
"capitulators" report in A World to Win, that you criticised so
strongly.

Your recent passage from New Flag, needs to be dated for
us to make sense of it.

I must object strongly however by your allegation that
Quispe has added me to his bloc. He is powerless to do so.
I am far too eccentric for that to be possible, and I am
afraid I suspect you of playing super-Maoist mind games
in making that accusation.

Anyway over many recent years the
strongest influence on my politics has been indirectly that of the
Communist Party of South Africa, which is a very different animal
to that of the PCP, and which probably many supporters of the
PCP would regard as revisionist.

I would not insult either Luis Quispe or myself by suggesting I am
in the same bloc with him. I would be grateful if you would
withdraw your accusation.

But do stay on the l'st.

Chris B.
