Subject: AUT: strategies? THINK FIRST


In some of the talk I have read about "strategies" and "networking"
perhaps I can be so bold as to try to clarify some things.

First, we must be at least as organized and politically rutheless
as the corporations. Second, while corporations are networking,
they do it with strict top-down control. Third, on Strategy,
please can we return to the master and away from the
academic bull.> Vladimir Ilich Lenin: 

"A more powerful enememy can be conquered only be exerting
the utmost effort and by necessarily, most carefully,
cautiously, solicitiously, and skillfully taking advantage of 
every 'rift', even the smallest, among the enemies, of every
antagonism of interest among the bourgeoisie within 
different countries, between various groups or types of bourgeoisie
within different countries, by taking advantage of every, even
the smallest, opportunity of gaining a mass ally, even though
this ally be only temporary, vacillating, unstable, unreliable
and conditional. Those who have not understood this have 
not understood a particle of Marxism, or of scientific contemporary
socialism in general."

Corporation operate by the folowoing top-down pyramid>

        POLICY
        PRACTICES
        IMPLEMENTATION

THEY ARE NETWORKED COMMUNITIES WHO UNDERSTAND THAT POWER IS ACHIEVED
THROUGH TIGHT LOGISTICAL COORDINATIONS AND THE CONTROL OF DEPENDENCY
RELATIONSHIPS. THEY ARE INERACTING AND NETWORKING COMMUNITIES ONLY AFTER
THESE THINGS.

Hope this helps and that no one is offended by the strong tone, but 
I know what I am talking about.

Lenin, aslo, for you as a human being with a moral imperative to
yourself:

"Ucet se, ucet se, ucet se." i.e. "Learn, Learn, Learn."
