[Marxism] Ward Churchill softens on the Maoists

[Louis Proyect <lnp3@xxxxxxxxx>]

This has really astonished me, but I've gotta give it up: both the
Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP) and its recent spin-off, the Maoist
International Movement (MIM) have used their weekly papers to advance some
of the best analysis of my case and its implications yet published. MIM has
been especially consistent in putting its cadres on the street to do
political education concerning my case, gathering signatures on petitions
supporting me, and the like. This has led to some interesting results, to
say the least.

One of the high points of my spring was when, unbeknownst to me at the
time, a bunch of MIMsters cornered Rocky Mountain News reporter Charlie
Brennan on the sidewalk outside the Women's Building in San Francisco -- he
was there because I was speaking inside -- and told him he wasn't taking
another step until he signed their petition supporting me. Man, I'd love to
have seen the look on his face! They eventually cut him loose without
signing, but let's just say he's stopped stalking me around the
country-he'd earlier shown up at a talk I gave at the University of
Wisconsin's Whitewater campus, and a few other unlikely locations-and I
think the MIM people can take credit for his absence. Sooooo...

Thanks, comrades.
