It is true that they tend to avoid debate, but nonetheless there are some good
economists and social thinkers there. You have to winnow a lot. But in any case,
elists are not a substitute for real life, real struggles, and most of they are not
a substitute for books and libraries (wherein indeed both Marx and Lenin spent the
greater part of their adult lives: working in libraries).

I must point out that this mail was sent out to many people (such as myself) that
Heartfield "spams" weekly. I have never minded, seeing as I get some 100 mails a day
despite it at any rate. I would bet Yoshie did not receive it from LBO-talk (and if
she did, so what? No one on LBO talk could last five postings in a debate with the
Leninists who "dwell" on L-I, and they would never subject their fragile egos to
several posts with us anyways), but rather forwarded something from the "Week".

The LBO talk crowd would be personally honored to come visit the home of the evil old
stalwarts, the crotchety dinos who believe in Leninist solutions to "Post Modern"
problems. Let em try it!

I did not say you or Mark. I said Lou. For the record,  my "teaching" post was a

Please, please, Mine! We do not like JH very much here. Most don't like him at
all. But why dismiss the info Yoshie has sent to the list? Suppose the same
piece had been signed by yours truly? Would you dismiss it the same way?

I don't think Yoshie is trying to teach anything to old timers such as Lou Pr.,
Mark, or me. At any rate, let us face it, we have not taken power, yet. And
that is the ultimate test. If I am not wrong, most people on this list is more
used to plane crashes than to safe landings.

So that, again, since it was me who insisted on debating Kabila (is Yoshie
wrong in saying he was an opportunist? is Mark wrong in saying he was a SOB?),
please let us leave that (for the benefit of Mine) British imperialist in
disguise JH in peace, and let us plunge into the Congolese issue.

Maybe I am a bit off tune here. But I have found more interesting insights on,
say, American imperialism or British imperialism in the River Plate (and
sometimes, even on socialism)  among people who not only are considered to be,
but actually brag on their being, "right", than on most of the crap soaked in
stenching ink produced by the proud Argentinean "Left".

So that I would suggest to stick to data. Whatever the source. Henry
Kissinger's articles are very instructive, indeed. Why not J. Heartfield's?

What don't you recommend? Lou  is presenting an historical information above

Try to grow upYoshie and stop teaching how to build the left to old timers
like Lou. If your pretension is to recover the reputation of a right wing
cult--LM-- and its long time defenders like J. H., I would just recommend you
to improve on where you left on pen-l. Why to post J.H here, but not someone
else more useful to the purpose of L-I? You know that it will receive nothing
but endless controversies about a figure who is not even on the list. This
being the case,  Lou's criticism of  H was right on target. Frankly, I don't
know what your problem was with Lou's reply, but I found your "Learning" post
opposition for the sake of opposing. If I were you, I would simply engage in
what Lou was trying to say.

in any case, I was just checking my e-mail although I am supposed to be
technically away.

Chussodovsky is a revolutionary. Furedi is a libertarian. That's what he
told the Guardian newspaper. Look at Yoshie trying to dissolve the class
line between us and a libertarian who sets up conferences with a shadowy
'intelligence-gathering' consulting company paying top dollar to set up a
table in the lobby. Do you think the bourgeois press is lying when it
states that all these people from Furedi's group are collaborating with
ultrarightists?

Empty platitudes.

Rebuilding the left? Everybody in Great Britain agrees that the LM cult is
a renegade from Marxism. Even Phil Ferguson, their erstwhile supporter,
says that they are no longer part of the left. Perhaps we have
disagreements about what the "left" means, Yoshie. People who network with
the Wise Use movement are not part of the left, Yoshie. The Committee in
Defense of Private Property placed the Furedi-ite Channel 4 documentary
attacking the Greens on their website, while their leader Ron Arnold wrote
for LM magazine. This is the same Ron Arnold who worked for Reverend Moon.
Is Ron Arnold part of the left? Exactly who on the left has associated
themselves with this cult other than Doug Henwood?
