Dear Rob,

You are one of the nicest and principled Menseviks I know:) Thank you fr the 
above.
After the latest turn by the anti communist defamation league of Neo 
Stalinists and Menshevik crowd on M-I. It is obviously a real danger to have 
the discussions centered on one list or especially one university like 
Jefferson villiage in America.

The power of these present powers to be at jefferson village and the fact of 
everything being American centered with both software and hareware must be 
broken. I suggest that all Socialists and Communists starting looking for 
places outside of Jefferson Villiage but also even outside of American 
universitiies for organisation of future lists.

The neo Stalinist Menshevik smel deriving from those who presently control 
the buttons connected to the isolationist and backwardness of the American 
left should not be the reason for a full and open flow of information and 
free speech on the net.

Naturally for the time being in order to combat this new turn I have decided 
to follow the rules of not cross posting to M-I by not posting theit at all! 
I will post all my replies to M-G and other lists including Usenet where I 
find I need to polemicize against any particular form of rotten politics 
presented on M-I which will mean disaster for poor and working class people.

Thus I can not be thrown of a list for crossposting to it if I do not post 
their at all and all my replies to M-G. I suggest that all others who cross 
post and defend the right to a free flow of information do the same so that 
the new anti communist alliance do not find and excuse to expell anyone..

To bad that the three post a day limit which was the only rule before has 
been replaced with and anti communist "New" rule which gags the flow of 
debate and information. Well hopefully this reactionary rule will be lifted 
and we can go back to the three post rule without anti communist 
restrictions that the Neo Stalinist click on M-I are responsible for. 

However for John who at this point was alone in trying to take a decision on 
this under the pressure of the anti communist crowd. I will not hold this 
against him personally. However if the M-I continues this course then John 
and the other moderaters must take full responsibility for the new situation.

But I do not intend to be silenced by the anti Communist alliance and there 
rules. And in order not to break the rules and be expelled I will post 
nothing to M-I so that the accusation can be made that I am breaking the rules.

Warm Regards
Bob Malecki
