Tony, if this list was the mouthpiece of elists for a revolutionary society, then I
would agree with you. But it isn't. if you go to egoups and look up ISKRA and
"Proletarism" you will find their lists. I felt very, very troubled about what had
happened last night until I did that. I found lists that had 312 people and
aproximately 200 something. They were posting now not on just the KPRF but also the
Russian Communist Workers Party. Both are three parter anti-semetic `warnings'. The
only people who post there are Steve Meyers, a man named Ben Seattle and their
circle. The debates were actually around Bob Malecki.
Picture this not as a party, but an embryonic meeting of those participants who are
trying to build one. There is likely to be a Spart contingent or something similar
that comes in to the meeting. If they do all the shouting at other people of similar
views until *that becomes the meeting itself*, the meeting gets nowhere, good people
go home early, and nothing at all about our situation is learned except a need to
find a way to organize without the sectarians. yes, it's email and people can delete
them "unheard", but these people will shout insults at the entire floor.
There is no bridging the gap with such folks.
