Subject: M-G: suspensions and  workers liberty


dear friends

In spite of qualitative political disagreements with the
maoist trends and sects here, I think the suspensions
of  Mr. A. Oleachea  & co. are a step backwards.

You should be more concerned with essence and 
not mainly  form/style. Remember, perhaps the most important thing
that lists like these can contribute is an example of
how how the serious  problems of the class struggle today 
can be dealt with and sorted out by better connecting this heated
 theoretical debating / polemicizing with the actual events of the
 world struggle.

New movements of the class must be built up  , political
and industrial, as well a new Communist Parties in the
class motions and thru polemic too. 
Part of the example these lists can set , being a forum
of different and opposing trends, is to "let the sparks fly"
and  in this cyberspace dialectic , some gains in new
clearer class understanding can develop.

you should re-think the suspensions ,  let the 
 maoist "flamers" (or flim-flammers) back on the 
list and let the sparring go on, with and without
the low blows.
