[Marxism] Response to David Q.

[les evenchick <piratefish@xxxxxxxxx>]

David,  I read your apology just after I sent my
message.

Apology accepted.

I withdraw my suspension request.

As I have stated before, I in no way support or
defend the war and other interventions carried
out against Yugoslavia by the US. NATO, and the
UN
and have backed this up in the past by organizing
demonstrations against the NATO/UN bombing
campaign against Serbia.

You are completely wrong about the Kosova
Albanian KLA being fascist though like any
nationalist group it had some fascist elements in
it.  But they did not set policy or strategy.

I posted a stated from the KLA and PGK leader
Thaci and it contains not one bit of fascist
ideology.

It is liberal democratic bourgois. I have many
other documents from the KLA and PGK that back
this up.

I opposed the KLA seeking help from the US. etc.
and pointed out in an e-mail to the Kosova Press
that the interests of the US/NATO were not their
interests.

One can critically support groups representing
the oppressed even when they are not socialist or
class counscious.

Concerning Jared Israel.

I knew Jared very well from my college days and
am fully aware of his site and arguments.

I have debated this issue with several persons
using his source material but when I presented
them with facts they couldn't refute they just
stopped communicating with me.

The problem with you and others who hold the
Milosevic view of events is that you do not look
at the reliability of the sources you quote and
neglect the fact that the enemy of your enemy is
not necessarily your friend.

What is TENC?

I alway read all sides of an issue but this is
not true of you and Louis who apparently have no
knowledge of the Kosova Press, the KLA or the
former Provisional Government of Kosovo other
than
what its opponents say.

I always read the documents of ALL sides not just
what the capitalist press and partisan observers
say.

Just so you understand where I stand on other
similar situations,  I supported the West Papua,
Chechen, and East Timorese independence movements
as well and have fought US intervention in
Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq from the beginning.

I hope you are not one of those like a
"socialist"
friend of mine who supports the Putin regime's
suppression of the Chechnens.

Louis is apparently under the mistaken assumption
that Yugoslavia was Socialist under Milosevic.
This from a former Trotskyist is hard to believe.

David, the importance of this issue is that it
what political activissts believe can affect the
success or failure of future revolutionary
opportunities.
