Hello Chris F.,

I'd like to state my support for the protests against this
provocation in Detroit.

Also, Chris, it's nice to hear from you again and see
you're on this list.

I remember you asked some questions a while ago on my standpoint
on various questions, as an andherent of Mao's line. My reply, on
the Mao newsgroup, contained some things I hadn't written before.

Since I'm corresponding and discussing rather often with one
person in Detroit, Jay Miles of the Detroit Peru Support Committe,
it interests me also that you apparenly live in the same area and,
as that recent postings points to, are active in supporting
workers' rights. 

The ideology of Trotsky, which you apparently support, I'm against.
But I've been in united fronts here in Sweden with some advocates
of that polititical line too, for workers' rights and against
racism and fascism.

Someone whose name I forgot but who's in that WoVo, Detroit, you
mentioned and which I earlier stated a very negative opinion of
in connection with its stand on the struggles in Congo/Zaire,
likewise made a good impression on me by answering a worried
query of mine concerning Jay some weks ago when he was inexplicably
absent (hard disk crash) from the list.

Already a whole small group of people then, in the Detroit area,
whome I somehow know.

Rolf M.
