Remember well this line Rolf. I am going to make you eat up those words for

Thanks Rolf!

You can not possibly reason this way and say you defend my actions and at 
the same time condemn the MRTA. In fact there is no difference!  Both 
examples are politically stupid and adventurist. That does not mean that the 
MRTA or myself support imperialism.

Nice arguement Rolf. What would you have said if the PCP were the militants 
in back of the operation.

Yes he is.And he is doing it from the classical Menshevik concept of class 
struggle.
His arguements are the same as the Bernsteins of the second International.

 But you are  not a political coward Rolf.! This has been the tactic of 
Maoists historically. Everybody is either a cop, agent of imperialism, agent 
Fujimora, or agent of something if they do not bow to the alter of the 
Maoist god building sects.
