Sweden and some other European countries in fact *are* imperialist, true. But they're in an *intermediary position* in the world and are being subjugated to no small extent by - today above all - US imperialism too. Only a coulpe of days ago, a writer in the US paper the International Herald Tribune, William Pfaff, pointed out how detrimental to US govt. intersests were the European strivings towards an EMU, European Monetary Union, which would then create a currency actually strong enough to compete with the dollar, and so, "the USA would no longer be able to have *its deficits paid by other countries*" - NB this! He meant not least, European countries, including Sweden of course. So Bob M. shows up once more - as also in the question of the sabotage plans against the Barseb=E4ck nuclear power plant - as a "RESERVE US AMBASSADOR" to this country. - Well, there are many others too, of Swedish origin also. Only, this one is noticeable, since he does write in English and to this list - which in itself absolutely is a good thing and not a bad one; I'm not complaining about that. Ambassador Bob on the Barseb=E4ck sabotage plans wrote, firstly, that the majority of the Swedish bourgeoisie were "IN FAVOUR OF" nuclear energy - which of course is why they've put forward this mad and criminal sabotage proposal, to begin with, and secondly, that the whole thing was "NO BIG DEAL" - since that plant only produces 6% of all electricity here in this country; its closure would only be equivalent to cutting off the current for half a million people or so; thirdly, he complained about my "SINGLE-ISSUING" on this question, one, you see, which among other things *demonstates the true character in society* of the Trotskyite and other revisionist trends - an *ultra-rightist* character. Here now in this posting, he again *equates* the imperialist powers the USA and Russia with - THE PEOPLE of those countries; well, no, with the people of the entire American continent too (plus that of Russia). Isn't he a very worthy "American Ambassador"? I've said before: Bob does have some good points too. But look at these horrible things, please, young people, to see where Trotskyism lands you.
