Date: Wed, 11 Jun 1997 14:00:59 -0400 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 -------------------------------------------------------- Check Out My HomePage where you can, Read the book!
