I advised Australians on this mailing list that they are romanticizing the YPG. On the other hand, I would not advise them on whether to vote for the Green Party or for the Labour Party in Australia because I simply don't know enough about these parties. What I am opposed to is the "Coyoacan Complex" in which you find would-be Trotsky's using their authority to influence the tactics of the left in a country thousands of miles away. Not that I have much authority except to run this mailing list. _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com

If somebody in Australia has one about your home turf, what the fuck is wrong with listening? An outsider often has a more objective point of view than an insider. I am glad that comrades from other countries offer their opinion and advice on this list. Think about it. You should be too. In this case, I think the advice was off, but not because the advisor was outside of the United States. Geez...
