The above is so funny. I choked on my coffee in the reading..

At the same time it is quite interestin in seeing the rotten block squirm 
with their organisational "solutions" to their own political bankruptcy! And 
if the "ivory tower" wandered off quietly to M2 it looks like the rotten 
block wants to go out in a more hysterical style of screaming "Help us, 
those horrible Trotskyists" are ruining all of our attempts to continue down 
their historical road as if nothing has happened.

Well the truth is that Stalinism is dead! And what we are seeing is the last 
of the maggots to survive off of the coffin...And it appears that they are 
trying to use just about every dirty trick in the book in order to show how 
really insignificant this little 
cyber leftovers really are..

But one think I would really like to give Aldolfo credit for. He in fact 
helped draw all the closet Stalinists and their petty bougeois supporters 
out into the open! And christ what a sickening lot of aging maggots who have 
been around for years trying to fool poor and working class people.

Warm Regards
