Subject: M-G: Analaysis of positions in M-I (Part I)


With respect to the incident arising from the Trotskyst generated flame war
and the subsequent unprincipled action on the moderators of the M-I list in
suspending Jay Miles and myself, I am going to submit an analysis of what
the various political expressions mean from the point of view of Marxist
analysis:

PART I: LIE-LIE-LIE UNTIL YOUR LIES BECOME THE "TRUTH" 

B. ROSSER, A US EPIGONE OF JOSEPH GOEBBLES

Let us begin with the Mr. Rosser, a "man" who is now - after cowering in a
corner for months on end - daring to strutt around calling me a liar on
account of two big porkies of his own. 

1) First Rosser Goebbles style lie: That I have issued a death threat.  The
record is there that it was my refusal to assist Mr. Levy in his suicide bid
by denying him even the worth of the lead in an 8mm bullet what the
moderators have unduly used as an excuse for their action, and they admit as
much themselves.  

In this case not even a bourgeois imperialistic US court would fail to
convict Mr. Rosser for libel on behalf of his baseless allegation.  (BTW:
Can anyone report on Mr. Rosser's net worth to see if it would be or not a
waste of time to take him to the cleaners on this account?) 

2) Second Rosser Goebbles style lie:  He alleges that I have called him an
agent of Fujimori.  That is not true. Rosser is a professional
anti-communist hack working flat-out for all reactionaries without special
allegiances!  There is of course a full record of this in this list.  On the
other hand Rosser lies through his craven teeth when he denies having
attacked the PCP or linked it with Pol-pot.  The record is there, and
everyone knows it.

However, besides his ridiculous and libelous lies, Rosser represents the
professional anti-communist red baiter whose presence in this media is as
watchdog of bourgeois imperialist orthodoxy, ready at the drop of a hat to
reel out US imperialist propaganda dressed up as fact, in particular long
lists of "million of victims of communism", "gulags", here, there and
everywhere. 
"Cannibalism in Mao's China", the "Sexual Adventures of Chairman Mao", the
"Babies Stalin ate for Breakfast", "Lenin's Genocidal Mentality", " Brain
Washing of US servicemen in Korea", "tortures of GIs in Vietnam", you name
it, and "Joe MacCarthy Rosser" has a direct source confirming every gory
detail down to the smallest comma.  Rosser is in this list nothing but a
regular broadcast from the Voice of America with a smattering of
Pseudo-Marxist jargon as the crudest of camouflage.   

His is the oldest trick in the propaganda book of the reactionary
bourgeosie.  There is only gut hatred for communism running thru this sort
of person, and any one can see this for themselves.  That is one kind of
position in any case.  Outright glee and been hardly able to contain his
hyena's hunger at any difficulties communists may experience.  Cravenly and
cowardly waylaying them at the head of the jackal pack and throwing his
stones from a safe distance.

However, Blarney Rosser is no problem.  Everybody knows which side this man
is on - the side of all counter-revolution and every imperialism.  The fact
that he is now at the head of the mud throwers shows that his personalised
attacks are nothing but a manifestation of his cowardice and sheer predator
opportunism.  
Moreover, his presence in the camp of our enemies is absolute proof that we
are standing in the camp of revolution and, that they, our other enemies,
whatever their variegated positions may be, are all sliding into one kind of
reactionary position or another.

We shall continue on the next posting by analysing all the other various
positions once with have singled out this one in particular by dedicating to
him an old song of the anti-fascist war (to more shrieks of the "sexism
against Nazis" variety, no doubt, from some feminist "eunuchs" quarters):

Hitler had only one left ball......
Goering had two.... but very small......
Himler had only a tingler......
But Goebbles, Herr Joseph Goebbles
he had no balls at all......

How appropriate!
