[Marxism] not my problem!

[Dbachmozart@xxxxxxx]

I asked (in reference to a letter to the NY Times by Cliff Conner about the  
anti Vietnam war movement and his not mentioning the role of the Vietnamese  
resistance)
 
Can we expect a similar attack on Cliff Conner for his
"progressive  white supremacism"??>>

Bustelo replied -
 
No. 

You obviously don't get it but that's your problem.

To refresh comrades' memory, a few weeks ago, Bustelo attacked someone as a  
"progressive white supremacist" (which, I gather is better than being a  
"reactionary white supremacist") for failing to give the Vietnamese their due  
for 
defeating US imperialism. It's dismaying when a veteran political  person 
doesn't attempt to understand that when you are trying to make a  particular 
point, IT MIGHT NOT BE EFFECTIVE TO INCLUDE YOUR ENTIRE POLITICAL  PROGRAM. 
 
I learn a lot from most of Bustelo's posts and actually agree to a large  
extent with many of his points, but he went way over the line with that  
scurrilous racebaiting attack on a longtime anti racist activist. It would've  
been 
the comradely thing to put his ego aside long enough to acknowledge  his over 
zealousness. He didn't get it then and he still doesn't - but that of  course 
is 
his problem.
