From: malecki-AT-algonet.se (Robert Malecki)
Subject: M-G: Another political pancake from Poder Orerbro!


In less then six hours the Poder Orerbro (PO) Peruvian group of the Lcmcri 
have gone from a position of not talking to the "clown" (meaning Malecki) to 
come with another political pancake  that people on the list are surpose to 
believe. Not only that they now again have changed there position on "left" 
unity a la Banzer! Not to mention that on the "Zaire" question they are all 
over the political map. Incredible! 

>From there original statement of fake "unity" against the Banzer government 
of the left (see my homepage) internationally in order to put pressure on 
the other political parties and trade union bureaucrats who support this 
regime to now a new position of a united front of workers and peasants 
against the Banzer government. 

They also have a diametrically opposed position of some of there leading 
comrades who have argued for a correct position on Zaire and openly claim 
that Malecki and obviously some of their own comrades who have the same 
position on Zaire of being on the "opposite side of the barricades". 
Claiming that Malecki and some of the Lcmcri comrades who oppose any 
political support what so ever for the new Kabila regime and the earlier 
Mobotu regime which yesterday they were supporting.

These people have no real political line! They change the line everyday as 
soon as a little pressure is put on them from a Trotskyist point of view. 
What we have is a number of little grouplets who politically find themselves 
all over the map at present on Zaire and who change there line of calling 
for popular -anti imperialists fronts one day and a workers and peasant 
united front the next. One glorious fake left-unity scheme after the other. 
Against this Malecki has said that some serious work in the unions to expose 
the leaders in the unions who support the new regime and a program of 
struggle providing a real leadeship for workers being far more important
then the fake "unity" number these centrists are trying to pull off. 
Naturally this kind of work is subordinated to the creation of a party or 
group in this country..

This is the classic manuvre of centrists who lean first to the right then to 
the left or vice versa on many political questions facing poor and working 
class people today.
In Latin America they want to "unite" the left to fight the right and in 
Britain they have the exact opposite position of uniting the right to fight 
the left with their Stalin phobia anti SLP line and pro Tony Blair Labor 
Party stance. Centrists always capitulate politically to the pressures of or 
in order to put pressure on something or other. Not to tell the truth to 
poor and working class people and not any kind of serious attempt to build a 
Bolshevik Lenist organisation internationally on a Trotskyist program. Much 
better to scream about fake left unity of both the left and the right and 
liquidate party and program in order to build all kinds of opportunist 
combinations.. 

This connected to false accusations of Malecki trying to smash the unions 
and personal slanders directed at me, but also quite a few slanders and lies 
about the Spartacists now International Communist League.

But getting back to politics what exactly is the position of the Lcmcri on 
Zaire? We have a situation where one group is calling for a united front 
with Kabila and Mobutu at the same time (!) and placing Malecki and the 
Spartacists and some of their own leading comrades on the otherside of the 
barricades.Because we give no political support what so ever to either 
Kabila or Mobutu.

Now the PO allso have two lines on the Banzer regime. Uniting the 
International left to oppose Banzer and put pressure on the parties and 
union leaders who support him (a classical neo-Stalinist 
popular-anti-imperialist front) and now a new position of a workers and 
peasant united front to oppose Banzer! Both wrong by the way...You people 
become more politically bizaar for everyday that goes!

Now the "clown" shall go and contemplate the incredible new flim flam 
pancake political positions that you have presented to the lists which in 
fact are diametrically opposed to each other. At the same time I have put 
the entire first exchange with the LCmcri which started with the British 
elections and quickly led to a whole series of questions facing the 
International proletariat. And naturally the entire new round with the 
PO/Lcmcri in Banzer and Zaire up at my homepage for all interested parties.

So turn your browsers to my homepage and click on the "Lcmcri vs Cockroach" 
buttons and load it down to your computers and then in peace and quiet read 
these exchanges offline so you don't run up a big telephone bill. Those who 
do not have access to my homepage can send me and Email and I will Email the 
entire exchanges to you! It is and incredible exchange over a broad range of 
subjects facing poor and working class people today and how rotten and 
opportunist the PO/Lcmcri politics can be when they are put under a little 
pressure from the left.

Towards the Rebirth of the Fourth International!

Warm regards
Bob Malecki
