If flexible means making all kinds of deals with bougeois formations as Rolf 
does on numerous questions like "Nuclear power" well the working class can 
do without the Maoist ideas of flexibility which is nothing other then 
popular front politics which ties the working class to the coattails of the 
bougeois and historically has led to one bloodbath after another. Well Rolf 
can keep his flexible tactics. They are certainl a dead end for the Proletariat.

WHat Rolf? How about China, Shang Hai? Is this what you mean by correct 
leadership and Trotskyist lies?

Actually Rolf your defense of Afghanistan against those horrible Russian 
"Social Imperialists" is a wonderful example of your Maoist ideas. There we 
can quite clearly see that the Trotskyist line and your Maoist line clash 
sharply. On the one side Rolf, the Afghani Mullahs, Pakistan and the Uniterd 
States. On the other the puppet goverment of the Stalinists in Moscow. Our 
slogan was "Hail the Red Army" and your slogan Rolf?
