Here's an opinion from a comod of marxism.  I do not agree that the
new list must become what he expects/dreads that it will be.

...  It is wrong to leave them the open field.  we should have
unsubscribed them temporarily and then had a debate. It is my reading
of the list that overwhelmingly they would have been chopped off.

But the problem now is that they have succeeded in making us bend the
stick away from an attempt to join theory and practice.  the new list
will spin off towards theory and become indistinguishable from lists
such as the Bhaskar or Post colonial one.  all that is very sad.  

We were engaged in nothing less than the modernisation of Marxism and
a handful of trogs full of obscure spite and mere passionate
intensity have totally derailed us.

Yes they have had a glorious victory.  They have made a desert and
they call it peace.

I  will stay subscribed for the next week and then will in all
probability leave.
