We don't need people on the Marxism list posturing like Bolshevik deputies
in the Duma, Tony. Nobody elected you. And what is all this bullshit about
"we communists". Communists belong to organizations and do hard work, like
selling newspapers at plant gates and raising money. You are a
cyber-communist, aren't you? A different thing entirely.

On the specific question of immigration, you have not quoted from their
press, but are characterizing their positions upon what basis I have no
idea. You have a bad habit of applying all sorts of litmus paper tests to
sections of the left. I don't mind it if you do it elsewhere. This is a
free country (world?)

You can play the conscience of the left on other mailing lists, like Z
Magazine or Chomsky@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Just not here.
