Oh that's rich-- comparing the discussion here to the capitulation by the social democrats at the start of WW1. In my case, I wish I were more surprised that Stansfield's midget version of Comintern smear techniques appears on a Marxism email list. I am not. Perhaps there's something wrong with my short-term memory, or perhaps there's something wrong with Stansfield's, because I don't recall anybody on this list NOT condemning the actions of the police, and opposing the attempt at a coup. I know it's tough to actually focus and retain what was said during the heated discussion, but that's what the archives are for-- although that's probably only of use to those who think there's better things to do with history than distort and deny it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "stansfield smith" <stansfieldsm...@yahoo.com> To: <sartes...@earthlink.net> Sent: Friday, October 15, 2010 11:05 AM In any case, I am rather surprised that on a Marxism email list, a number of people on it can't make up their minds about who to condemn when there is an attempted US coup in a Third World country. It sounds like a little miniature version of the German Social Democrat Party when World War One broke out: do we support the international working class or do we support imperialism? Well, it's a tough decision, maybe we should just abstain on the war credit vote and see what happens. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/sartesian%40earthlink.net ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
