Despite the deep differences i have with Proyect. Especially his latest 
"yankee doodle" antics I protest his bureaucratic expulsion from the "left" 
unity-list for having political views. Political opponents should not be met 
with bureaucratic expulsions nor lists which only allow a certain category, 
but political arguements! Exclusionism and bans belong in the dustbin of 
history. However the right to ban people for obvious cop provacartions and 
slander should be met with a warning and then expulsion! Especially on this 
media. Because if the left gets involved with this kind of shit there are 
powerful bougeios forces that want to go much futher in stopping this forum 
of exchange!

Condemn the bans against Proyects political views! Condemn the "unity" list 
for its bans,exclusions and expulsions! The spoon and unity list members 
should take the kill button out of the hands of the five man junta and 
especially super hancho Per M who obviously has taken this practice with him

 I bet Louis. How about "Yankee doodle" in outer-space!

his list will provide a meeting-ground for socialists

Oh yeah! I will show them and do exactly the same thing. Start my own list 
and BAN people! How quaint Louis!

I think that the PO group should demand the immediate stop of the ban 
against Proyect! Because manifestoes don,t mean shit unless you live up to 
them in pratice!

Drop the bans!

For Workers Democracy and freedom of political opinion.
