Louis Proyect said (in part) MODERATION PRINCIPLES: The Marxism mailing list is extremely permissive. There are a couple of things that are frowned upon strongly. If you come to the list with the attitude that you are a true Bolshevik, who needs to convert 'Mensheviks' to your beliefs, you will be unsubbed. Members of self-declared vanguard parties who can adjust to the tolerant atmosphere of the list are more than welcome, since they usually bring with them years of Marxist study and political experience. Ken Hiebert replies: I confess i had not read the principles and I have to admit that with such a principle you are within your rights to unsub James Creegan. But I do find such a rule highly subjective. And I think that many of us have firmly held views that we bring to this list and we are anxious to convince others of our views. Were James Creegan's views class analysis as Andrew suggests? I am not convinced of that. They could also be seen as a kind of slagging common in some left groups. But, if I have anything to say about it, I would suggest that you do not unsub James Creegan. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
