Re: MIM Notes- still for bosses, rapists, scabs

Your criticism, on 23.07, of the "MIM" IMO in the main is quite
correct. Only, they're not really adherents of the line of Marx,
Lenin and Mao Zedong. They do support the Call for the WMC, though,
and on that basis I on my part intend to try to unite with them,
while by no means keeping mum on such things as those you
pointed out (mainly snipped here). One more thing: Mao Zedong
Thought does *not* have a "puritanical streak". On this you're
wrong. Some people *pretending* to uphold Mao's line may well
have one; that's another matter.
