=?unknown?q?=BFNo?= debate on Marxmail?

["Jose G. Perez" <jgperez@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

>>I've meant to participate in Marxmail once a major debate arises.  It
seems, though, that the confusion about Yugoslavia, East Timor, etc.  that
generated sharp debates here (and other left-wing mailing lists) has cleared
up (how can it be otherwise, with today's naked  imperialism).  Do we agree
too much to have a debate?<<

Gee, Yoshie:

I am totally unrepentant about E. Timor. And I'd like to point out I was the
provocateur that sparked much of the recent unpleasantness around the
paleo-trot policy of "critical" SUPPORT to imperialist parties, like the oz
and nz labo(u)r parties, not to mention the one headed by official White
House mouthpiece Tony Blair.

If I have intervened in that discusssion less than others, that would be
because, unlike some, I don't have a "princiled" position of never endorsing
or voting for a candidate running on an imperialist party line. After all, I
vote for Cynthia McKinney in the primary and would might well do so again in
the general election, if she were on the ballot.

(Is that the sound of flamethrowers being pulled out of closets that I
hear?)

José
