On what basis? I fully accept Historical Materialism -- all I am doing is questioning a mystical dogma that comrades have uncritically swallowed. You mention the proletarian revolution, a concept I also accept, and yet Dialectical Marxism has presided over 150 years of almost total failure. Is it not time therefore to think things afresh, beginning with a ruling-class theory Engels unwisely imported into our movement? And is there any call for this sort of abuse? "What an idiot." On what basis do you call me an 'idiot'? Have I ever bad-mouthed you? Rosa! In a message dated 2/4/2010 12:15:21 P.M.

Comment During my past decade of involvement with this list my tendency is to be extremely tolerate. This person - Rosa, need to be moderated if not expelled. She is a first rate fool, with nothing to contribute to the unraveling of the proletarian revolution. I vote for her immediate expulsion. What an idiot.
