No one is forcing you to join marxism2 any more than anyone is forcing me 
to join the Bhaskar list.

marxist list? The old, i.e. dead, list was called the marxism list. R.I.P.

Each can choose -- to move forward or be left behind. The marxism list 
was never designed to be a deliberative list or a revolutionary party.

The mistake is repeated. If you want to change the name of the old list 
to the marxist list, I suggest you make that proposal on that list.

It is *precisely* because some want the marxism list to be the marxist 
list that we have ended up dividing. 

Cyberspace is large enough to accommodate both a marxism(2) list and a 
marxist list.

I don't want to be part of a marxist list.
