Bob Malecki on the small united front with him I
proposed on the question of combating the freon ban:

Yes, I'd be for that.

A front by no means excludes proletarian independence!
I, if anyone, since 20 and more years back, have advocated
and represented an independent proletarian line!
ANd this in practice too. 

In 1974, I didn't compromise with the phoney"Marxist" "KFML(r)" 
but attacked its realsupport for social-imperialism's aggressive 
plans, got excluded, published a pamphlet that exposed and to a 
large extent sunk that phoney.

In 1990, I had to break with my long-time comrades and
teachers the KPD/ML(NEUE EINHEIT) in Germany, who had then
gone over to the bourgeoisie.

In 1994, I exposed (the first time this was done)
the phoney "RIM", which said it was "for the line of
Mao Zedong" but in reality distorts and attacks that line.

Recently, I condemned the creation of that WMC, for defending
the revolution in Peru and advocating the line of Marx,
Lenin and Mao Zedong internationally, a WMC which I had
been among the endorsers of but which was now, in August,
being set up by only some people who did not consult all
the other endorsers and who had not distanced themselves
at all from the reactionary line of the "RIM".

That's independent proletarian politics!
