Re: [Marxism] Walter's charge of violence-baiting

[Derrick O'Keefe <sankara83@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just quickly, in response to Walter's charge that I sent a "violence-baiting" 
note: The acts of violence, threats and intimidation carried out by the leader 
of the Vancouver political organization Fire This Time are well documented 
facts. 
 
This was the "charge" I made, not that the particular Cuba conference organized 
by one of their front groups would be the scene of any violence. That I chose 
to attend the talk by Isaac Saney at the Che conference does not in any way 
change the facts about Fire This Time.
 
Anyone not familiar with the facts here can do a quick google search or read 
the letter circulated to marxmail some months ago by Ivan Drury:

admission and attended the Che conference!O'Keefe must not have been worried 
about any violence, since hepersonally came to the event, a point omitted from 
the account which was posted by Louis."
