"Where did all that storm about 'Godena's remarks' took place? In fact,
that incident killed an important dialog I was having with Louis (G) and
I'm not sure if he was totally innocent in that sabotage. Hugh Rodwell's
response to Zeynep about the 'irrelevance of the Soviet Union...' insn't
it 'party guideline' through and through? What about thoses endless
Kbytes of intra-trotskyte arguing and dealing.  Your intentions may be
the best but the fact remains that M-I is full of
sectarian crap.  Maybe you just don't notice it anymore."

Our list expert on "sects" whiner in fact comes out of the closet here with 
the *real* reason for starting the sect thread in the first place. It is not 
just "sects" that he is after. In reality he is after the Trotskyists on 
this list. Because the bottom line is that his neo-Stalinist popular front 
politics disguised in this article about the "middle class". He knows that 
Trotskyists oppose popular front alliances with the tactic of the 
Proletarian United Front. And the only arguement the Stalinists ever have 
had against the Trotskyists is the sect shit.

This is the real reason in back of his starting the thread. His support of 
Louis G. and how, according to him Hugh Rodwell sabotaged the discussion by 
taking up Zeynep and what she wrote is in reality under the gise of "sectist 
feuding"  and attempt to label anybody that does not support the politics of 
those who clean up Stalinism but in theory and practice want to take us down 
the same political road that Stalinist popular front politics represent. 
Disaster!

There is just no way Angelo that we are going to allow the Stalinists and 
neo-Stalinists *real* politics slip through here under articles like yours 
which praises how great the middle class is and how they have to choose 
sides. Because in reality this means that people like you and Godena want to 
tie the working class to liberal and bougeois political parties. And 
historically everytime that has happened the workers were betrayed and 
defeated! All to keep the "Socialist Fatherland" save for the Stalinist 
bureaucracy...

Now it is the Stalinists who are the real "sect". You have no program other 
then the same old formulas that have led to the situation the International 
Proletariat finds itself in today. And now you are just trying to clean up 
your image and at the same time build new popular fronts, anti facist 
fronts, anti imperialist fronts and scream about those horrible Trotskyists. 
Well, Sorry baby the Stalinists are dead now it is our turn! Perhaps you 
people should try a little of the old "Red Front-Class against class" shit, 
you know a new turn towards the working class because the boat is going 
right by you and you have not even seen the boat..Ha Ha...

Notice that the Stalinists and neo Stalinists on the list are boring us with 
long theoretical articles which write off the working class or Yankee Doodle 
Socialism or 
Angelo worshiping the middle class here. They have nothing to say about the 
great struggles that are going on Internationally, like Adam and the French 
Truckers or Malecki and Sweden or the PO on a number of subjects or the ex 
WRP and their trade union iniative or Zeynep on Turkey for example. Because 
they are only whining about all of those people who are involved in real 
struggles and programatically and organisationally and individually are 
trying to intervene in those situiations. The Stalinist and neo Stalinist 
world is topsy turfy these days and the desperation of these people can be 
shown in their sectarian outbursts about sects and constantly trying to 
change the lists or whatever and no matter what the Trotskyists just keep 
turning up everywhere to disturb them from being irrevelant to what is going 
on in the *real* world!

No they are the real "sect" today. Nobody believes the Stalinist and neo 
Stalinist garbage. And with no state power to back it up they are desperate. 
Oh if we only could go back to the good old days. Well, the good old days 
are gone and so are the Stalinists as a counter-revolutionary force. However 
the Trotskyists although yet small and quite split Internationally are 
everywhere! And that is what really bugs these creeps more then anything else.

I suggest if you want to get somewhere in the world and are seriously 
thinking about revolution my friend that you dump your neo Stalinist 
ideology and find a Trotskyist sect that everywhere are trying to find ways 
to recruit and grow. Go a ground course in the ABC,s of Trotskyist politics 
and perhaps you can help move things forward in the interests of the working 
class.And even if we do not grow very fast our politics are being heard more 
and more in the once dominated reformist and Stalinist controlled workers 
movement so then you could be part of something that is alive and well and 
not dead like the rotten politics of the Stalinists.

Yeah the Trotskyists and those who claim to be Trotskyists are everywhere 
and we are coming in the middle of the night and going to grab the Stalinist 
and the neo Stalins and reformists political line by the balls and sweep it 
onto the dustbin of history.

Yeah, keep on whinin. But it won.t help.

Now it is our turn!
