Ah, the master comes rushing in on behalf of the disciple who
claimed that "good old Mao betrayed the Shanghai proletariat."
You have adroitly turned it around into my "defence of Chiang Kai-shek
as an honourary member of the Comintern" which I never did. As Louis G
has just pointed out, this membership of Chiang was approved by
Trotsky himself. But let Malecki come up with some solid historical
evidence for his charge of the great betrayal of the proletariat by
Mao in the 1920s.

As to your other fire and brimstone swipes from the pulpit, no
answer is necessary.
