This is my 6th post, and therefore I'm over the limit (whoops and cheers). But I couldn't bare to leave you ignorant my brethern (as St Paul says), of the following information gleaned from Bob Avakian's website. It's so funny I laughed until I cried, and my wife came down to see what was the matter. This is real humour, because, as the saying goes "it's easy to be funny, but much more difficult to be funny on purpose." Anyway, what got me laughing is the following, earnest, description of Bob Avakian I found when I clicked the over-sized "who is Bob Avakian ?" banner on his website. Enjoy. "BOB AVAKIAN is a creative and wide-ranging thinker who, at the same time, maintains a profound sense of the actual struggles, trends and sentiments among the masses, the movements of opposition, and society broadly. And, he is the leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA, a Party which is seriously setting its sight on the seizure of power right within the U.S. itself, and the revolutionary transformation of society as part of the world proletarian revolution, and he is at the same time a very important leader of the international revolutionary movement and the international communist movement. He is one of those truly rare individuals who emerge only occasionally as an especially concentrated expression of the very best of what the revolutionary people and their struggles can forge and bring to the forefront at certain junctures in history." No, really, could some US comrades please give me more details on this guy ? It's just so ... bizarre ! ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
